Prometheus

The sculpture of Prometheus, located above the Lower Plaza at Rockefeller Center in New York, is one of the most photographed monuments in the city. Created in 1934 by sculptor Paul Manship, it is made of gilded cast bronze and is 18 feet high. The sculpture depicts the Greek legend Prometheus bringing fire to mankind. This is a crop of a broader shot, which I narrowed to edit out the table umbrellas from the garden below.
