Things you missed in Saturn Devouring His Son

Welcome Back To Art & Beyond!
The artwork ‘Saturn Devouring His Son by the famous Spanish artist Francisco Goya is considered one of the greatest paintings of the 19th century. The artist created a group of fourteen paintings, which have been since christened ‘The Black Paintings.’ Goya had made these paintings on the walls to decorate his home, which was just outside Madrid. Out of these 14 paintings, the one titled ‘Saturn Devouring His Son' remains one of the most unforgettable ones. Goya, who is said to be suffering from bouts of depression since the age of 46, created these murals and painted them directly on the walls of his home. This set of 14 paintings was not supposed to be for public consumption as they seem to be reflecting his struggles with depression and the troubled times in Spain. He did not name any of the 14 paintings and they were later transferred to the canvas from the walls almost 50 years after they were first painted. The history painting by Francisco Goya revisits the Roman myth that the titan Saturn, who is a god of time, believed this his own son would dethrone him, just like he did with father Coleus. In order to prevent that occurrence, Saturn ate each of his sons, moments after their birth. As per the legends, his wife hid the sixth son Jupiter, who eventually went on to claim Saturn’s throne. In the painting, Goya has illustrated a naked man with disheveled hair and a wide-eyed stare, who has already eaten the head of his child. The haunting work of art truly captures the frenzied and psychotic state of mind of Saturn, as he proceeds to devour his own son.The end. in this video, we are looking into Things you missed in Saturn Devouring His Son
