Prometheus (Paul Manship) - Lower Plaza centerpiece

Prometheus is a gilded-bronze sculpture by Paul Manship located above the Lower Plaza of Rockefeller Center and serves as the focal figure of the complex's skating-rink and plaza area. Installed in the 1930s, the reclining figure of the Titan bringing fire to humanity is one of Rockefeller Center's most visible and enduring artworks. The sculpture and its fountain setting are central to seasonal programming at the plaza and to Rockefeller Center's public identity.
