‘Nata5’ part 1

Saturno devorando a su hijo or Saturn Devouring His Son was taken from where it had been painted directly onto the wall of Goya’s dining room.  Perhaps something of the piece’s original gravity can be experienced by conducting a viewing over a meal.
There is evidence that Saturn was originally depicted with a partially erect penis.  It was likely lost in transference, to time, or painted over deliberately before the piece was put on public display.

Fransisco Goya painted this in 1819-1823. Just look at the fucking brutality of this image. If someone were to paint this today instead if Goya did nearly 200 years ago, people would be just as taken back now as they were when they first discovered this mural.
The story of this painter is unbelievable. Goya went deaf, causing him to hate the living piss out of everyone and EVERYTHING. He bought a goddamn house near Madrid, far the fuck away from all people. He spent the rest of his miserable life in this house, dubbed the Deaf Man’s Villa.
For his remaining years he painted 14 murals on the WALLS of his fucking deaf house. In every room, on every wall, for NINE years. Goya didn’t name any of these paintings, didn’t intend for anybody to see them, nor did he intend for them to leave his fucking house. He did them all for HIMSELF. These paintings were later given the name of the Black Paintings by art historians. The BLACK paintings. Fuck.
The next time you’re bummed out that you’re cell phone is acting “weird” or you have to pay 7 dollars for a fucking tank of gas, think of Fransisco Goya. He almost died twice, had multiple mini-strokes, witnessed the brutal killing of innocent friends and family during the Spanish invasion of Napoleon, BOTH of his two wives died, he went deaf at 46, and he made one the greatest series of paintings in the world. FUCK.
