Prometheus Unbound, a monumental painting by Carl Bloch, has re-emerged in Greece nearly 90 years after it vanished. Displayed for the first time at the Paul and Alexandra Canellopoulos Museum, it has been receiving a warm reception from visitors captivated by its themes of freedom and oppression. Its popularity has led to plans for further exhibitions across Greece before it is permanently housed at the palace of Tatoi. The painting resonates deeply, evoking reflections on human existence and liberty, especially in today's insecure world.
The painting's popularity has been such that plans are now afoot to exhibit it elsewhere in Greece before it is put on permanent display at the newly restored palace of Tatoi.
People stand before it transfixed. They're completely mesmerised. The appeal has been astounding. It attracts visitors hungry for a glimpse of freedom's victory.
