so was no one was gonna tell me that the painting saturn devouring his son was found painted directly onto the walls of the artist’s home after he died and that it may not even be depicting the greek legend, that’s just the most common interpretation??????
hello????
Not only was it painted on the wall of his house, it was painted on the wall of his dinning room.
Like imagine you go over to your boy’s house for dinner and that’s across from you while you eat. Like would you say something or just
This is the painting is question by Francisco Goya. Not only was this painting found, but a series of 13 other disturbing pieces of art called his “Black Paintings”. At this point in Goya’s life he had lost his hearing (well most of it) and had moved into a villa where he became a recluse. This was directly after the Napoleonic wars. These paintings were never meant to be found. They were never commissioned and he solely made these for himself.
This is where they think each of those paintings was placed in the house.
May his example be for a blessing and G-d’s hand on him in protection! This is a righteous act.
I love that he’s using food to do it. Like he could try to fight with politics or slogans or something, but nah he just went food. And I love that. I love all of it.
I do, too. Like his art is gorgeous so don’t take what I’m about to say as an insult to him, but:
It’s also kinda dumb.
It’s not making any particular statement by itself. It’s just “oh look, pizza.”
Which is fantastic, because that means its underlying message, when taken into full context, is “this silly, completely irrelevant picture IS MORE RELEVANT THAN YOUR GRANDSTANDING HATE.”
And not just resetting the defaced art to its original, but using the need to paint again as an excuse to paint EVEN BIGGER.
