EDITORS COMMENTS
This hauntingly captivating print captures a detail of the head of Saturn from Francisco Goya's renowned masterpiece, "Saturn devouring his Son". Painted between 1819 and 1823, this oil mural transferred to canvas measures 143x81 cm and is housed in the Prado Museum in Madrid, Spain. In this particular detail, we witness the terrifying visage of Saturn himself. His eyes bulge with madness as he sinks his teeth into the flesh of his own child. The horror depicted on Saturn's face is palpable, reflecting both his insatiable cannibalistic appetite and the anguish that consumes him. Goya masterfully portrays every gruesome aspect of this mythological tale. Blood drips from Saturn's mouth as he devours body parts with an almost animalistic fervor. The sheer brutality and violence captured in this image are deeply unsettling yet undeniably mesmerizing. "Saturn devouring his Son" stands as a testament to Goya's ability to delve into humanity's darkest depths. It serves as a chilling reminder that even gods can succumb to their most primal instincts. As we gaze upon this photo print, we cannot help but be drawn into its macabre allure. It forces us to confront our own capacity for darkness while simultaneously marveling at Goya's artistic genius.
