I want this framed and in my kitchen

Or maybe.... I hire a local painter to paint my kitchen wall with it. Make the art come full circle.

I found places making canvases, but it was a rabbit hole trying to find it's origin. Ran into a dead end at learning it originated from a user named godtsol on Tumblr that doesn't exist anymore.

[–] orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

amazing.

I remember seeing the real one as a teenager at La Reina Sofia and loving it. Also saw and became obsessed with El Greco there.

[–] disorderly@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Yeah, the whole exhibit on Goya is a trip. You walk through this guy's decades of professional work leading up to the war, his fall into depression, and the black paintings. I really can't recommend it enough.

Happy World Turtle Day, everybody! 🐢🌍

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

This is wonderful timing.

[–] HeHoXa@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Why is this so horrifying and beautiful?

Is it... encouraging or depressing? I don't know...

Even as I close my eyes the image remains, haunting my soul...

Probably because the original depicts a cyclops devouring a man in a scene from The Odyssey

[–] Impound4017@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Isn’t the original painting the Titan Saturn (Cronus) devouring his son?

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 0 points 1 month ago

Guess so. I must've been thinking about something else.

By the way, I wonder if this painting was inspiration for 進撃の巨人

[–] HeHoXa@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That helps a lot actually, thanks

What is the original painting called again? I can't find it.

Thank you, I thought it was a painting of Tarrare.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Me, crouched in front of the fridge at 3 in the morning.

[–] Tempus_Fugit@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Ha, that's pretty cool.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

That’s a cool painting
