    That is very interesting. I’ve also heard of it only as Saturn Devouring His Son. It’s my favorite painting though I must admit that I’ve not read up on it. It just fascinates me. I had no idea. Makes the painting even better.

      Yeah, it’s one of my favourites too. So immediately striking. I don’t think it would’ve occurred to me to read up on it - what’s to read about? There’s just the figures and the act, nothing else. But then you find out that it’s somehow even more goth.
