Francisco Goya y Lucientes



The image above is titled "Saturn Devouring His Son"

The artist  Francisco Goya y Lucientes was an artist that created paintings that were extremely controversial and harsh. All of his work was related by the similar theme of darkness. His work is very dark and has a mournful message throughout his paintings. Although they are disturbing to look at I can’t help but stare at his artwork. It captures the interest of viewers and forces them to contemplate on what is going on and the harsh reality of what it being portrayed.
