chelseabong: FRANCISCO GOYA, Saturn Devouring His Children, 1819-1823. Detail of a detached fresco on canvas, full size approx. 57” x 32”. Museo del Prado, Madrid. “The forms are torn and jagged, the colors raw. This appalling late work is not only a savage expression of man’s inhumanity to man, but a recognition of the desperate conditions of life itself. Life is in time, and time devours all.” this is one of the most disturbing paintings ever but simultaneously one of my favourites.
