Goya’s Vision

One of Francisco Goya’s most famous paintings is Saturn Devours His Son.

There are many interpretations of this painting. From the first time I saw it, I felt that it represented the difference between God and Satan.

Whereas God is loving and merciful, going so far as to send his son as a redemption and restoration for us, Saturn (Satan) devours his children.

The image has alway stuck with me. It’s a reminder of the difference between death and destruction, life and love.

I’ll go with love.
