Goya received no further commissions from the reactionary King Ferdinand VII. He seemed to know his days were numbered in monarchist Spain. The Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain, is home to Francisco Goya's painting "Saturn Devouring His Son." The painting is part of the museum's permanent collection and can be viewed by visitors. The painting "Saturn Devouring His Son" by Francisco Goya became part of the Prado collection through a donation by the Spanish government in 1933. Prior to this, the painting was held in the private collection of the Duke and Duchess of Osuna. After their deaths, the painting changed hands several times before being acquired by the Spanish government and eventually placed in the Prado Museum's collection. Today, it is one of the most famous and recognizable works of art in the museum.Saturn (c. 1636-1638) by Peter Paul Rubens; Peter Paul Rubens, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons Camón Aznar, José, Francisco de Goya, II, Caja de Ahorros de Zaragoza, Aragón y Rioja, Zaragoza, 1981, pp. 42-43.

The painting is executed in a loose and gestural style, with rough brushstrokes and an emphasis on texture and movement. This gives the painting a sense of immediacy and emotional intensity, emphasizing the brutal and gruesome nature of the subject matter. Saturn Devouring His Son by Francisco Goya was painted between 1819 and 1823, during a period of political and social turmoil in Spain. Goya had witnessed the horrors of the Peninsular War, which had raged across Spain for six years and resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. The war had been fought between the French and Spanish armies, with many Spanish citizens forced to fight on both sides.

Francisco Goya was one of the leading Spanish painters from the Romanticism artmovement, but he is widely regarded and described as one of the “last old masters” and the “father of Modern art”. He painted within a variety of genres, from portrait paintings of prominent figures from the Spanish Royal Court to war paintings influenced by the Peninsular War from 1808 to 1814.Bozal, Valeriano, Francisco Goya.

Saturn Devouring His Son can be seen as a reflection of the violence and horror that Goya witnessed during this period, as well as a critique of the abuses of power and the destructive nature of patriarchy. The painting's themes of brutality, oppression, and insanity are all deeply relevant to the political and social context of Goya's time.
