I want this framed and in my kitchen
I found places making canvases, but it was a rabbit hole trying to find it's origin. Ran into a dead end at learning it originated from a user named godtsol on Tumblr that doesn't exist anymore.
I'm sure it's out there!
Or maybe.... I hire a local painter to paint my kitchen wall with it. Make the art come full circle.
Why is this so horrifying and beautiful?
Is it... encouraging or depressing? I don't know...
Even as I close my eyes the image remains, haunting my soul...

Probably because the original depicts a cyclops devouring a man in a scene from The Odyssey
Isn’t the original painting the Titan Saturn (Cronus) devouring his son?
Guess so. I must've been thinking about something else.
By the way, I wonder if this painting was inspiration for 進撃の巨人
That helps a lot actually, thanks
No problem
Michelangelo devouring his lunch
amazing.
I remember seeing the real one as a teenager at La Reina Sofia and loving it. Also saw and became obsessed with El Greco there.
Yeah, the whole exhibit on Goya is a trip. You walk through this guy's decades of professional work leading up to the war, his fall into depression, and the black paintings. I really can't recommend it enough.
Happy World Turtle Day, everybody! 🐢🌍
This is wonderful timing.
What is the original painting called again? I can't find it.
Saturn Devouring His Son
MICHELANGELO MY GOAT <3
Me, crouched in front of the fridge at 3 in the morning.
Ha, that's pretty cool.
