Italian school; XVII century."Classic scene".Oil on panel.Presents damage and label on the back.Measures: 66 x 36Scene of vertical format in which a classical theme is developed. The piece is structured in several planes, which follow each other in depth. In the foreground we can see a group of men gathered around a bonfire, pointing to the fire and looking upwards. In the highest area, located in the background, we can see the presence of a man dressed only in a cloak, which strategically covers his semi-naked body. Both his peculiar presence with respect to the rest of the characters, as well as his location in the composition, make the viewer understand that he is the main protagonist of the scene. Finally, the scene is completed with a last shot in which a multitude of figures can be slightly appreciated.The work can be iconographically related to the myth of Prometheus, who stole fire from the gods to give it to humans, to whom Zeus had forbidden it. To achieve this Prometheus climbed Mount Olympus, although other versions relate that he stole it from Hephaestus. In order to bring fire to men, Prometheus used a reed. In this particular case the reed is not appreciated, but you can see how men enjoy the fire.
