Saturn Devouring His Son remains undoubtedly Goya’s most emblematic work. It is also one of the darkest paintings in the history of art, painted by the artist on the walls of his home. It comes to life here in this magnificent immersive reinterpretation of the myth of Cronus.
Painted directly on the walls of his house, Saturn Devouring His Son by Francisco Goya refers to Greek mythology, when King Cronos devoured each of his children to counter the prediction that he would be overthrown by one of his sons. Saturnism is an immersion on a human scale in one of the darkest and most haunting paintings in the history of art, where the fear of losing power drives one to madness.
