Are you flipping kidding me? ARE YOU KIDDING ME???
This is why I hate thinking.... because I can never do it right! I kept searching for something with "prophecy." Something less literal... but I guess I should know by now that all the creativity is in the painting, not the name. Damnation.
Thanks, Kyriakos.
Did you mean Peter Paul Rubens' Saturn Devouring His Son (1636) may have inspired Goya.Originally Posted by Genocide

Is this an actual painting or a piece of graphic design like the previous one called Leap of Faith? I think we have to stick to paintings as that is the title of the thread and graphics art too obscure to be recognised or traced.I'm looooking. I'm trying to find one that I really liked, but I can't for the life of me remember the name... it's like I've challenged myself!
Edit:
I'll post it some other time then... here's this one.
"L'art de la statistique est de tirer des conclusions erronèes a partir de chiffres exacts." Napoléon Bonaparte.
"Je crois que beaucoup de gens sont dans cet état d’esprit: au fond, ils ne sentent pas concernés par l’Histoire. Mais pourtant, de temps à autre, l’Histoire pose sa main sur eux." Michel Houellebecq.

Is it certain that the Leap of Faith is graphic design and not a painting?
At any rate i love it
And yes, i agree that we should only post paintings.
I promise it's a painting... or at least when I had to do a quick sketch of it in Intro to Drawing (shading that was beast) it was introduced to us as a painting. You can skip it if you'd like seeing as you guessed Goya's without even having a painting...
Rubens' painting was probably the inspiration for it Goya's. Rubens' is so interesting... it's definitely harsher to see Saturn eating a child over a grown, headless, body.
Yes it is graphic design. I checked out the artist and he just designs book and CD covers, posters etc.Is it certain that the Leap of Faith is graphic design and not a painting?

Now I feel cheated... that's not the only site I found a picture of it on though...
Sorry about that but I'm sure that I would never have got it. I have never heard of the artist.
Anyway, try this one.

Frederic Remington's The Trooper ? Lucky guess. :]
I think Kyriakos should pick one.
Something's going wrong here, I just posted a reply to you previous post and it hasn't registered. So, when I posted the Remington painting, there was no title but it appeared during the actual posting of the picture. Then I had to dash off and when I returned, I saw that the title was there.
OK these things happen so try this one. I hope it doesn't happen again.

Winston Churchill was a better artist than Hitler.
The painting's title is Le Bguinage.
