Doing an essay on these two for one of my classes this semester. How great to see someone else saw the parallels too! Fatherhood and national identity are such fascinating things to explore, and Repin's Ukrainian heritage brings contemporary issues into the mix as well.

Saturn Devouring His Son (1819-1823) 🎨 Francisco de Goya 🏛️ Museo del Prado 📍 Madrid, Spain

The mural paintings that decorated the house known as “la Quinta del Sordo,” where Goya lived have come to be known as the Black Paintings, because he used so many dark pigments and blacks in them, and also because of their somber subject matter. The private and intimate character of that house allowed the artist to express himself with great liberty. He painted directly on the walls in what must have been mixed technique, as chemical analysis reveals the use of oils in these works. The Baron Émile d´Erlanger acquired “la Quinta” in 1873 and had the paintings transferred to canvas. The works suffered enormously in the process, losing a large amount of paint. Finally, the Baron donated these paintings to the State, and they were sent to the Prado Museum, where they have been on view since 1889.

Saturn devouring one of his sons is one of the most expressive images from his Black Paintings. It occupied the wall across from Leocadia Zorrilla on the ground floor of “la Quinta del Sordo.” This mythological god could be the personification of such a human feeling as the fear of losing one´s power. The mural paintings from “la Quinta del Sordo” (the Black Paintings), have been determinant in the modern-day consideration of this painter from Aragon. The German Expressionists and the Surrealist movement, as well as representative of other contemporary artistic movements, including literature and even cinema, have seen the origins of modern art in this series of compositions by an aged Goya, isolated in his own world and creating with absolute liberty.

Naming your OC dolores and nicknaming her lolita is utterly disgusting. Lolita was a twisted disgusted persona created by the pedo in the book for the little child Dolores so let's not romanticise this shit

excuse me what🧍 nicknaming a character lolita does not directly tie her into romantising pedophilia like??? 😭

like literally I just stated that one of her nicknames would be lolita and nothing more, I didn't even go into detail like there's only "nicknames: lola, lolita" in the smallest font size ever 😥

AND ALSO in which part of my oc file did I romantice her?? like I don't mean for her to have any kind of romantic relationship and much less with any of the adults so like.. this is completely uncalled for 😬 In spain, where I live, it's really common to nickname a girl who's named dolores lolita and it's never been a direct reference to a pedophilic book??? There are a whole lot of other characters in different books and movies, and ocs too, that are named dolores and nicknamed lolita.

If it's a trigger for you or something simply do not read anything about my oc, but she's definetely not nicknamed lolita because of the book. Which, let's remember, doesn't romantize pedophilia but portrays it in a way that definetely remarks that it's wrong and unethical.

And, to come and say this to me on anon it's a cowardly move, but I won't judge. There is literally a song I picked her name out of, and it's from a spanish band and it has nothing to do with pedophilia.

The Spanish Series: El Tres De Mayo 1808 - Francisco Goya (1814)

"...More than 2000 of the troublemakers have been killed. I have in Madrid 60,000 men who have nothing to do. We took advantage of this affair to disarm the city."

Letter by Napoleon Bonaparte to his son, 6 May 1808

This painting is the second of Goya's depiction of the 1808 Madrid Rebellion, which many regard to have begun the disastrous Peninsular War.

As Napoleon writes in his letter, French soldiers massacred thousands of rebels after they crushed the resistance; El Tres de Mayo is Goya's remembrance of it and the Spanish people who died.

While Goya was considered a supporter of the French Revolution and its values, he felt very strongly about the mass murder of people in his country of Spain. His thoughts would be affirmed by Napoleon, who, according to the aforementioned letter, thought that the lives of the Spanish people could be thrown away easily.
