Help me find the author and title of the picture

Dmitry M, it seems that your grandmother is not only the author of your picture , but also the author of the story.
After all, if you look at the wound in the ribs on the right , it is Prometheus . Instead strashnyuschego eagle gnaw his liver , some cute seagulls . Rocks, which had to be chained the main character - are the very opposite him. A lady who is depicted ? Athena ? Pandora without their vases or disguised Hermes ?
Judging by the waves - the wind is blowing from the left. Judging by the hair in the Greek mythical ladies sandals - the wind is blowing from the right.
Could it be a copy of a historical painting ? Something I do not remember anything . I do not believe that any of the classics could fantasize so on . Most likely this is Grandma's student improvisation on the theme of Greek mythology. Yes, and it can not be called a masterpiece . No offense , but that I had an opinion .

It's better than just a copy , of course.

Yes, and it can not be called a masterpiece .

Masterpieces of the Louvre and the Hermitage.


Dmitry M, good picture , much as the memory of the native people - what more could you want better ?
And the plot ? Shareware - the myth of Prometheus , titanium , king of the Scythians , the defender of people from the tyranny of the gods.
Male figure - he 's right, I think.
The women , perhaps one of the Oceanides : Oceanides he was not a stranger , the father of Prometheus was the brother of the Iapetus Ocean of their father , and the wife of Prometheus, Hesiona was their sister.

The women , perhaps one of the Oceanides

According to Aeschylus , Prometheus came to Oceanides , not Oceanides . One came to him Io. Maybe it can be assumed and is shown here .

masterpieces in the Louvre , and all at the Hermitage .

All of it ? But what about the masterpieces in private collections ? Or is that not in the Louvre and the Hermitage can be a masterpiece ?

Us-tin, cool, take off the hat.
Indeed, as simple as that, and all my assumptions are dispelled.
With the way the search was hit by a wound, which is the original, alas ...
no.

That's the name of the paintings - "Hero Finds Leander".
And I thought, "Oceanides visiting Prometheus" <! - ~ 1 ~ ->
