In the context of this artwork, discuss the Models of the History.
The model for the full-scale Prometheus sculpture was Leonardo Nole (c. 1907–1998), an Italian-American lifeguard from New Rochelle who modeled for college art classes. He spent three months posing for this assignment in the spring of 1933. After World War II, he became a postal worker. 
Manship's assistant Angelo Colombo did most of the detail work when Nole was posing. Henry Kreis, another assistant, sculpted the hair. Artist's model Ray Van Cleef evidently posed for the original small-scale rendering that the full-scale sculpture was based on.
