Van Gogh. I think it is called "the potato eaters"
The name of the painter is shown, i think he isnt very well known. All that is needed is the title of the painting

It is. I recognised it as a Van Gogh and just looked up the title. I hope to see the next one and hopefully recognise it faster.

Your turn to post a painting, Genocide
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.

Describe the painting, what if other people helps you to find it. Do you remember the name of the artist?

I can't! But it's kind of a morbid, macabre painting. It showed Saturn (Kronos?) eating one of his children because of a prophecy stating he would be overthrown by one of them. I remember the painting being black with Saturn slightly hunched over the body of his child (which was small but had a full grown adult build) with an arm in his mouth. 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.

It is "Saturn eating his son", by Goya
