Saturn Devouring His Son

Saturn's mouth couldn't belong to a human. The jaw hinge sits at the temple, not at the ear; the opening is wider than any human anatomy. Goya gave Saturn a wolf's mandible on a man's skull. The painting was made on the dining-room wall of his country house outside Madrid and was discovered after his death. Never titled, never described in his correspondence, never meant to be seen. Now at Museo del Prado, Madrid @museodelprado
