Name the painting

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.

Saturn looked anything but Godly. He looked, I remember thinking, like a homeless man.

Edit: Just realized this sounds kind of creepy painting to have stuck in your head.

Did you mean Peter Paul Rubens' Saturn Devouring His Son (1636) may have inspired Goya.

Edit:

I'll post it some other time then... here's this one.

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.

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.

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.
