"Saturn Devouring one of his sons" 1820 by Goya

This creepy painting was done by Francisco Goya. Goya uses dark intense colors to  capture the inhumane cannibolism going on in this scene. This painting is depicting the story of a prophecy told to Saturn that his sons were going to kill him. So in fear of that coming true, Saturn decides to kill his sons first. In this scene Saturn is eating one of his sons in a savage like manner. His body is deformed which makes him look more like a monster. Yet despite his cruel unjustifiable behavior, in his eyes you can see fear. It's as if in that moment he realizes what he is doing is wrong which makes him seem like a human again.
I think everybody from the 21st century can relate to this painting. Though I'm pretty sure nobody has ate a human much less their child, everybody has done something that was completely wrong. People do bad things and don't care if its wrong. But sooner or later whether its during the deed or after, you realize that what you did was wrong, and your conscious can make you feel guilty. Another words this painting from the 1820's and the 21st century today can relate in the fact that everybody has a conscious no matter if they're good or bad which makes us human.
