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.

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.

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.

This is wonderful timing.

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

What is the original painting called again? I can't find it.

Thank you, I thought it was a painting of Tarrare.
