Clip Art: Prometheus Carries a Blazing Torch

This artwork depicts Prometheus, the Greek mythological figure who stole fire from the gods and gave it to humanity, carrying a blazing torch.

This artwork captures the power and passion of Prometheus, who was willing to risk everything to help humanity progress and thrive.
