About the Item

Prometheus Freed is a sculpture by Guatemalan artist Walter Peter Brenner. Dimensions are 50 x 30 x 16 cm (19.7 x 11.8 x 6.3 in). This artwork is signed and numbered. Prometheus holds a central place among the Titans in Greek mythology, revered for gifting humanity with the power of thought. Moved by compassion for humans, who lacked the ability to reason, he stole the fire of reason from Mount Olympus and gave it to mankind. As punishment for this act of defiance, Zeus condemned Prometheus to eternal suffering in exile on a rocky island. Yet Zeus offered a condition for his release: Prometheus would be freed if he returned the fire of reason and revealed the secret of who would one day overthrow Zeus. Despite enduring unbearable physical torment, Prometheus never surrenders—remaining steadfast in his principles and unwavering in his loyalty to truth. Prometheus Freed pays homage to the freedom attained through perseverance and fidelity to one's values. The sculpture stands as a powerful symbol of integrity and the resilience of the human spirit. Much like Prometheus’ exile on a remote rock, the artwork is installed on the Pacific coast of Guatemala, where the constant rhythm of crashing waves echoes the theme of enduring struggle.
