A spectacular exhibit opened Saturday at the Philadelphia Art Museum, inspired by one of the finest works by Peter Paul Rubens.

It’s called “The Wrath of the Gods: Masterpieces by Rubens, Michelangelo, and Titian.”

Rubens’ “Prometheus Bound” is the focal point of the exhibit, but it also includes similar pieces, inspired by the Prometheus myth, and how he was tortured eternally for giving humanity the gift of fire. Chris Atkins is Associate Curator at the Art Museum.
