Goya and Research/Analysis on His Works

I used to drag on as a child, but then again, who didnt? But as I dove into my art class, I found break that art was a lot more interesting than I thought. I visited the Getty concern as a young child, and as memory portrays it, the museum was boring and strict. So when I found out I would be venturing there once again, I was uninterested and sullen. To my surprise, I loved the trip. The architecture was the initiative thing to appeal to me, and my grandma, who was from Korea, had never seen anything like it I loved the different moving-picture shows, some telling tales of old.I well-read that to all art is stale and boring, but can tell you a story if you Just cop and listen. The two paintings that I have decided to compare and contrast are Saturn Devouring His Son by Francisco De soy and The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters also by Francisco De Soya. I chose Saturn Devouring His Son by Francisco De Soya because it stood out to me. My childhood drawings were no different fr om any otherwise adolescent boy, monsters destroying cities, giants consume cars, violence and fiction.When I saw Saturn Devouring His Son, my childhood memories clicked and it seemed like an adult erosion of any childs drawings. The painting shows Saturn with wild hair, pouch eyes, fists dripping in blood, and a frenzied look on his face. He is crouching in the darkness, violently eating a child. From a simple glimpse, this painting might seem pure carnage and evil, but as with all paintings, there is a message it conveys. In Greece-Roman mythology, the Sky and Earth bore Saturn and his siblings (the Titans). When the Sky pleaded for Saturn to sweep away his father, he agreed and afterwards married his sister Rhea.Some time later it was prophesied that one of Saturn children could be his demise, so Saturn devoured every child that was born except one, because he was tricked. Some assume that Soya got his inspiration for this painting from Peter Paul Rubes 1639 piece that depict ed Saturn with a scythe and constellation, tearing into a child, but with no blood or gore. Francisco De Soya actually painted this work along with the 14 other discolour paintings in a house called Quanta Del Sword. This series is known as is Soya took away any index and instead painted the vicious scene of cannibalism that would have taken place.There are no indicators that this painting is mythical in any way. The reason Soya chose a female instead of a male frame is most likely because Soya was struggling with his own old age and that he had bad circumstances with love and happiness. Saturn in Greece- Roman mythology represents lost time and Soya was not only painting a myth, but painting a message that time was attacking his chance at love and youth. The other artwork that I chose is The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters also by Francisco De Soya. I chose this piece because I wish the artwork and epic
