Goya was a country boy from Aragon who rose to the highest rank of any Spanish artist. A social climber who maintained a distaste for aristocrats. A man of the people with a loathing of the mob. A painter of luminous royal portraits and ethereal chapel frescoes who also made a worldly series of prints that he called Los Caprichos, satirising “the foibles and follies to be found in any civilised society”. Francisco Goya, Saturn Devouring His Son, c.1819–1823. Oil on canvas, 143.5 × 81.4 cm. Madrid: Museo del Prado. Saturn devouring his son by Francisco Goya The painting is also seen as a commentary on the destructive nature of patriarchy and the abuse of familial relationships. The figure of Saturn, who is both father and killer, represents the destructive power of patriarchal authority and the way in which it can turn against those it is meant to protect. In this interpretation, the painting is a powerful critique of the abuse of power and the need for individuals to resist oppressive structures and systems.

Goya a sans doute été inspiré par un tableau de Pierre Paul Rubens de 1636 portant le même nom. La toile de Rubens, qui est aussi au Musée du Prado, est plus claire avec un traitement du mythe plus conventionnel, Saturne étant représenté avec moins de férocité que dans l'œuvre de Goya.
