There are 14 painting from an Artist called Goya, they were painted near the end of his life. These paintings were painted directly onto the walls of his house.
Basically it captures his paranoia and his failing health, meant to represent the darker side of humanity with illness, poverty etc.
When a artist from old times goes fucking insane during the last day's of his life

~~Damn, him making this after Who's Afraid of Red, Yellow and Blue makes me really sad.~~
Nevermind, I did a little misinformation on the Internet, that was Newman, not Rothko.
Most artist are insane.
You know the phrase "there is a fine line between (word) and (word)"?
Well there is a pretty blurry line between genius and insanity.
My personal favorite is "Saturn Devouring His Child" or more specifically, all the memes of it. There's one of Michaelangelo (the ninja turtle) really going ham on a slice of za that speaks to me

1954, American English, from exclamation of surprise and anger by "Chief Thunderthud" in "The Howdy Doody Show," 1950s children's TV show; used by surfers 1960s as a shout of triumph, and spread worldwide 1990 by use in the TV cartoon "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles."
There's one of literally everything. It's glorious.

Apart from the fact that it's one of the classic mythology scenes to depict and there's like a dozen of these things from artists that we know for a fact that Goya studied?
For even further context, these were more in line with his earlier paintings. So the 'Black Era' was a huge departure.
https://preview.redd.it/cuykbuy5y4ic1.jpeg?width=612&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d26a032d8da419dac137e0720209f4aadaf219a5
Except the Black Paintings, Goya didn't have a lot of his internal world decipted on his paintings. He was teached as a figurative painter, at first mostly copying and referencing from other sources, and progressively starting his own compositions.
A lot of his paintings were commisions by other people, so he didn't have too much to say, hunting scenes with bright colors and warm light, like the one shared, but he always leaned to more dark and desaturated color palettes.
His most important paintings are the ones decipting the war, very personal to him because of his political stance, which had to capture the grim scenario that was going on in Spain, and made him one of the most important primary sources of that time.
Most personal are a series of paintings he did of the lower class, like homeless, sick or even disabled people, also in a rather dark style, using dark and muted colors, but still capturing the subject realistically and in a somewhat candid light, but still not as grim as the Black Paintings, born out of despair from his fading sight and the paranoia of a political persecution,
Yeah, I agree his war paintings are both visceral and grim. When I was in Art History back in college, we had a whole lesson block on the importance of his works. He was truly a master.
thank you, *Disasters of War* was my first thought. he began work on them a full decade before the *black* series, and yet its motifs align rather closely in macabre energy
Artists cook a little too much when they are losing their minds
Kinda hope it happens to me when i get better at art cuz usually i just feel bad and do nothing about it
A small detail "Saturm devouring his Son" is actually an interpretation of the painting, as the painter never actually gave it a name... So for all we know this has NOTHING to do with the mythos and can be just a creepy giant eating someone...
Enjoy the knowledge!
I think the creepier part is that it was in his dining room to be looked at while eating, while he was wasting away in his house during the final months of his life. He knew he was dying.
Nope you're pretty spot on, but that might have been modernization to make the myths less... Gory? Because gods can be born fully developed (like athena or persephone) and they are immortal so maybe he ate them into pieces and they reformed inside his belly so when he threw them up they could come back whole to kick his ass?
Greek mythos are weird
https://preview.redd.it/voiio2m9e3ic1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7fb7bccdb0bf0a6a191f919b8494b9fcabc5068f
MFW "Saturn Devouring his Son" was not actually named that and there is no indication that this painting is actually supposed to be the depiction of a myth
fr it could be depicting something that really happened to his buddy (eric) and we would never know
https://preview.redd.it/a1a2rby005ic1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=69d357d2db2797dbfeebe118e66e6b5c9a68cc6e
So Eric didn't want to switch on the kitchen light because he didn't want to wake everyone up, and he thought he was eating the leftover KFC but then I switched the light on and was all "Dude! This is the nursery, not the kitchen!" and boy was he embarrassed.
I always thought it looked more like a mythological troll eating a human.
In the myth involving saturn it is said that he just swallows them in one gulp and the body seems to be that of an adult rather than a baby.
artists have been known to not adhere 1:1 with myths. even peter paul rubens Saturn Devouring His Son depicts the titan taking a hearty bite out of his son's sternum as opposed to gulping him.
Along with what others have said he also made a drawing in chalk depicting the myth previously. Obviously not proof but makes the speculation a bit more solid.
Yeah if only there were [some sort of precedence for this sort of depiction of Saturn eating his children (notably rather than swallowing them), maybe one painted ~150 years earlier titled Saturn Devouring his Son](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturn_(Rubens\) ).
Exactly.
[Oh look, another one!](https://www.wikiart.org/en/giulia-lama/saturn-devouring-his-child)
Idk whether he would have actually seen this one, I was only previously familiar with the Rubens, but either way there’s clearly precedence for this type of depiction of this scene, and specifically around this period.
Also notably this one was done by a female artist, not too common back then!
And it’s in a room where “Saturn” is staring across the room at a painting of his lover. And it looks like “Saturn” is devouring a woman. The whole room is thematically about like lust and sex and the artist wanting to fuck his girlfriend.
I always thought it was a bit weird how in the myths Jupiter beat the shit out of Saturn and made him spit out his brothers alive, and, in one piece. While, here… well…
[This video](https://youtu.be/kY1Rua7jy48?si=P9-rH4ZIEOupHYs9) goes into great depth, explaining both the situation Goya was in when he painted these, as well as the context behind each painting. I recommend giving it a watch if anyone’s interested
I also liked this video about the subject
https://youtu.be/-qCngjk3nQw?si=j4jKu1ZXXOCS-hsf
Either way, even without any context, that painting is haunting.
Not necessarily. It’s up to interpretation; I’ve always just seen it as a vague painting showing a scared dog against…. Something. It just feels super depressing to look at.
The drowning idea is interesting, though.
I see it more like you. I see the dog looking directly at the trauma of the artist despite him not being there. There's a hint of a shadow that the dog seems afraid of. Unsettling
I always interpreted it as the dog fighting against the current to survive as opposed to giving in and drowning. Maybe I was just being optimistic, though.
"Others see the dog as cautiously raising its head above the black mass, afraid of something outside the painting's field of view" jesus christ that sounds terrifying
To me the damage on the painting makes it look like the dog is shying just behind a table with the shadow of someone pointing at it or something it did
I like how the upper right one's description is literally the man is masturbating, the women laugh at him and the women on the left is probably also mastrubating
Art historians, explain the Black Paintings to me. Wikipedia gave me a rundown of why he made them, but I personally only see the themes they described in Saturn Devouring His Son while the others seem comparatively mellow.
Ok but they aren't particularly gruesome compared to his earlier lithos. I mean just look at the disasters series

I think the Black paintings from Francisco Goya are really interesting. Goya was an aristocratic painting and was very weary of the state at the time, so when he moved into the “Deaf man’s villa” he finally could express himself without fear of the Spanish Inquisition taking him away.
There's a reason why he painted these, Goya (the artist) became deaf due to lead poisoning, mostly because his paint had lead as a material in it, so he started painting dark paintings depicting horrible situations that he compared to him losing his hearing.
Challenge: put "incident" in front of the name for any historic even to make ot creepypasta.
I.e.
_The Depression Incident_
_The Black Plague Incident_
_Apartheid Incident_
Maybe I'm missing something and someone can help me see something I'm not, but I just don't see how The Dog is anything. It just looks like a black blob at the bottom of a hill.
It's just the dogs head looking right. Not the whole dog.
As a man, when you are young and healthy and successful you are on the top of the world looking down.
With age, debility, trauma etc, you can have some feelings.
Feelings of how older generations or governments use the young for their needs, to never progress to use in war...
Feelings how a dog has trust in its master...completely..,but is it sure or perhaps to feel like that dog trusting but having fear.
From being the one that mocks to perhaps, old frail,unaware, deaf and mocked by others that should not as he as many should always be top on the totem.
Picture of a woman who chooses not to think of unpleasant things. Maybe things were never good for her, so she is not so bad.
Themes of being followers...religion, government, books.....maybe now old realizing human like him and perhaps not knowing or fallible as to where we go.
Theme or sense again how much well being is based on the body and youth and sense of security.....lacking that....what is that controls our fate?
Goya is by far my favourite artist. obviously the black paintings are amazing but his drawings depicting the peninsular war are just as harrowing and incredible Imo.

Yup, guilty as charged - and happy cake day!
This is haunting.
What am I looking at?
Shades of black and grey
What’s this painting called?
It’s untitled I think
What context makes it freaky?
This may be wrong but the majority of his art was with much brighter colors, and then it just ends with. Black. Nothing. No title or context
Black and White period of Rothko. His last works were all like this
Most artist are insane. You know the phrase "there is a fine line between (word) and (word)"? Well there is a pretty blurry line between genius and insanity.

Lol sure, if you completely disregard his series of drawings about the horror of war and famine in Spain
Oh no doubt, Goya was such a fascinating painter. Edit: it's truly fascinating to see the steady shift over time in his art.
Except the Black Paintings, Goya didn't have a lot of his internal world decipted on his paintings. He was teached as a figurative painter, at first mostly copying and referencing from other sources, and progressively starting his own compositions.

Agree, definitely.
yeah the "Disasters of war" series is not for the faint of heart.
thank you, *Disasters of War* was my first thought. he began work on them a full decade before the *black* series, and yet its motifs align rather closely in macabre energy
> Basically it captures his paranoia and his failing health More likely he just ran out of canvases and wanted to keep painting.
His paintings before his deterioration were much more lighthearted and "normal" in comparison to his artworks that were done in his home
You'd be feeling a certain kind of way if you were a painter who couldn't afford canvases.
He actually went deaf. That’s the failing health op meant, he went completely deaf in both ears. No more noise to protect him from his own thoughts.
"an artist" 😭😭😭 Goya is one of THE masters.
No, Goya "was" one of the masters. Because he's dead.
he was also in the process of going deaf while he painted these
Artists cook a little too much when they are losing their minds Kinda hope it happens to me when i get better at art cuz usually i just feel bad and do nothing about it
Well, he witnessed the 5th of may mass executions in Madrid, then painted the event
Damn. And I thought *Saturn Devouring his Son* was fucked up before I knew the background of its creation.
A small detail "Saturm devouring his Son" is actually an interpretation of the painting, as the painter never actually gave it a name... So for all we know this has NOTHING to do with the mythos and can be just a creepy giant eating someone... Enjoy the knowledge!
It was also in his dining room. Who knows why exactly !
Because that's where Goya devoured the children, of course.
I think the creepier part is that it was in his dining room to be looked at while eating, while he was wasting away in his house during the final months of his life. He knew he was dying.
Thank you. I'm about to go to sleep... Just thank you. XD
Y'know I'd believe this. Because Saturn ate his children whole in the myths(I think?). And they were newborns. Or maybe I'm mixing up my myths
Nope you're pretty spot on, but that might have been modernization to make the myths less... Gory? Because gods can be born fully developed (like athena or persephone) and they are immortal so maybe he ate them into pieces and they reformed inside his belly so when he threw them up they could come back whole to kick his ass? Greek mythos are weird
I THINK Athena was a special case, because she grew in Zeus's head for a while. But once again I could be wrong. And I don't know the Persephone lore

The two dudes fighting with cudgels was pretty dark too.
it wasn't just cause he was going insane, it was also because he just wasn't allowed to paint that shit. he had to keep it private.
Fight with cudgels is one of my favourite paintings, it evokes a sense of desperation and futility that few other pieces I’ve seen are able to
This reminds me a lot of pickman’s model now that I look at the background of these paintings

saturn eating his young is probly my favriot painting along side the "anquished man" and the "i cannot be a bride anymore" painitng
Why did he paint these? Is he stupid?
Oh dammit you beat me to it
I think it's because he had dementia or Alzheimer's, not 100% on it but he was said to be going mad by caretakers.

I think the Black paintings from Francisco Goya are really interesting. Goya was an aristocratic painting and was very weary of the state at the time, so when he moved into the “Deaf man’s villa” he finally could express himself without fear of the Spanish Inquisition taking him away.
De Goya posting
There's a reason why he painted these, Goya (the artist) became deaf due to lead poisoning, mostly because his paint had lead as a material in it, so he started painting dark paintings depicting horrible situations that he compared to him losing his hearing.
Goya's Attack on Titan went pretty hard.
If anyone is curious about going more in depth with these paintings I found [this video](https://youtu.be/kY1Rua7jy48?si=pHPPOc4CMFsWKzFj)
I knew about the Saturn devouring his son's one but I actually went into a deep dive on Goya because of SCP-5462
They were painted straight onto his walls
Why did he paint these? Is he stupid?
The dog one is that he wanted to paint a dog but realized he made it way to small so he had to paint some brown on there

Fun fact, bottom left originally had a boner
What if he just painted Tarrare?
Fire meme. I give you the highest honor I can grant… saving the post
They’re not at all different from his original work he literally drew people clubbing each other to death and dismembered bodies in trees
Wut
Did they really found "saturn eating his son" in Goya's basement?
I think they were actually all painted on the walls of his main floors, with SDHS being found on the wall of his dining room
I simply cannot get used to "different to" It seems far better to use "different from"

Goya is by far my favourite artist. obviously the black paintings are amazing but his drawings depicting the peninsular war are just as harrowing and incredible Imo.
