Saturn Devouring His Son
Goya (Francisco de Goya y Lucientes)

Goya painted this lovely scene onto one of the walls of his home. I wonder what message he was sending to his kids?

27 So, in the myth Saturn consumed his children until Jupiter cut them out of him and freed them. Doesn't that mean he swallowed them whole?
Oh, and Jupiter's mom gave Saturn a rock wrapped in swaddling instead of baby Jupiter, which is how he survived.

The upper body is ambiguous, but that looks like a female buttocks.

45 Cronus learned from Gaia and Uranus that he was destined to be overcome by his own sons, just as he had overthrown his father. As a result, although he sired the gods Demeter, Hestia, Hera, Hades and Poseidon by Rhea, he devoured them all as soon as they were born to prevent the prophecy. When the sixth child, Zeus, was born Rhea sought Gaia to devise a plan to save them and to eventually get retribution on Cronus for his acts against his father and children.

And now you know.

And knowing is half the battle

111 HMS Illustrious, the last of the Royal Navy's Invincible-class carriers, has set sail from Portsmouth to meet her doom at a Turkish scrapyard. The British government chose to sell her for scrap in 2014, but Illustrious' final journey nonetheless signals the end of an era during a low point for the shrinking Royal Navy. Illustrious was the second Invincible class between HMS Invincible and Ark Royal, scrapped in 2011 and 2013, respectively.

129 Goya had a penchant for the grotesque. Some of them would have been suitable for Lovecraft a couple of centuries later. This one has no redeeming qualities at all. I noted it was not for public viewing. His normal portraits seem stiff, especially for the period. Even the nude 'La Maja' is flawed. The body is actually hot, especially for the tastes of the time, but the face looks like it was pasted on from another painting which is distracting at best. FFS, his self-portrait looks like an image of Dorian Gray's picture. This level of self-loathing and disgust with his world does not make for pleasant viewing.

I don't know why Goya has such a high reputation in the art world. His vision was wasted on the 1800s. He should have been working in the 20th century when portraying angst, despair, and ugliness was often needed to be considered great art.

131 Goya had seen so many thing, and focused on the horrors of his society. He would do sketches of executions and such. He started out as a court painter too, and is known for portraits of the royal family and various dignitaries

He had gone deaf, and isolated himself in his home. Saturn is one of a series of paintings that he did on the walls of his own home and had to have deep meaning to him.

I do love Saturn Devouring his Children, and his various studies of Maja, Maja Reclining and The Dressed Maja.

Goya was a caricaturist, and a lot of his work lacks the photorealism of the Italian and English painters. His caricatures, like the series The Horrors of War and others about injustice in society were not widespread enough to be propaganda, but were more like photo-jouralism.

Some of his work is just knocked off like he was just paying the rent. Others are gorgeous and well done.
I wonder if that reflected on what his feelings were to the subjects, or just how readily the subjects were paying.

Fortunately, he didn't have any.

One physician has speculated that Goya's physical problems were due to lead poisoning (he went deaf in middle age). That might explain the "black paintings".

Of course, witnessing what the Spanish guerrillas and Napoleon's troops did to each other, as Goya did, would darken anybody's sensibilities.

===================

Goya lived through one of the most brutal periods of Spanish history. The Spanish fleet was mauled by Nelson at Trafalgar and then overrun by Napoleon's armies in 1808. The French occupation devolved into a horrific, nation-wide civil war, with a Spanish bourgeois elite class siding with the French against the majority of Spaniards. Add the indignity of needing a Protestant English army to restore Catholic Spain and there you find Goya and his work.

Republican leaders managed to derail impeachment of IRS Commissioner John Koskinen on Tuesday, forcing the debate back to a committee for more study, where it will die when Congress adjourns at the end of this year...
Some Republicans sought a lesser penalty, such as censure, while Democrats said the entire impeachment drive was misdirected. Those two sides joined forces Tuesday in a 342-72 vote that sent the debate back to the Judiciary Committee.

226 Ok,,,art thread....

Back to the anniversary of a horrible day.

Last night I posted that on the History Channel today, among the many documentaries about Pearl Harbor is one regarding the scapegoating of Admiral Kimmel.

His family has been trying to get his four star rank reinstated for decades. There is a book out and the History channel will be replaying a documentary done about the code breaking and intelligence the US gov. had prior to Pearl Harbor that through a series of incompetent actions and a failure to "connect the dots"(Gee, I guess we repeated that failure prior to 9/11), no actionable intelligence, warnings, or recommendations were sent to Pearl Harbor's command, Admiral Husband Kimmel before the attack.

Kimmel was stripped of rank, etc. and even though years later, when he was found to be not guilty of dereliction of duty in Congressional hearings, his rank was never restored and his name completely cleared.

There is a petition to have his rank restored. This request has been brought before all the presidents since, I believe, Truman, and was passed by a bipartisian bill in Congress in 2013. It requires the Commander in Chief to restore his rank and none of them have done so, including Obama, even though Congress has requested it and Biden is supportive.

Here is the petition link and links to the book. Documentary will be on tonight. Very detailed, gives day and minute timelines of intelligence coming in and what drawer it ended up in.

---------------

Republicans have a lot of fear about making waves. Frankly, its why I am somewhat surprised they were able to stave off the Garland nomination. What that episode (and Trump and the fact that the GOP stayed out of voting for Obamacare) should teach them is that they may have less to fear than they think.

That being said, I think there are also plenty of Republicans who aren't necessarily afraid of the fight, but just don't want this to take time away from their new agenda.

But I would love to seen them bring impeachment charges. Even if you can't get a Senate conviction. Have the house bring charges, and have the dems go on record voting against someone who clearly abused the power of the IRS.

This isn't the impeachment of Obama where a lot of people may truly care ... This is an IRS agent.

231 Bluebell, I wouldn't have it on my wall, that's for sure.

A lot of Goya's work focuses on the stupid, venal, self destructive way that his society was destroying itself. The weaknesses of the Spanish society at that time involved sporadic regional revolts - along the Mediterranean shore, Galicia, Catalonia and the friend/ally/subject/competitor/rebel Kingdom of Portugal; it also involved huge economic problems from the giant wealth of the South American colonies disrupting all Spanish economics and markets and industries, and all this weakness gave the French Republic a foot in the door and resulted in the horrors of the Peninsular war.
And you can say what you like about the Spanish but they invented guerrilla warfare specially for the French.

Anyhow, horror on horror, caused by a society eating itself.

Saturn Devouring his Child is not a "ooh pretty" painting. Most of Goya's work that was not portraiture was not pretty work.
Saturn is a warning and a despairing scream of "look what we are doing to ourselves."

Saturn has been driven insane by the horror of what he thinks he must do to preserve himself.

I think it is one of those final summations of a lifetime of painting and thinking on what his lifetime has seen.

258 The emerging GOP plan to repeal Obamacare on a delayed schedule -- and then maybe kinda sorta replace it later -- has raised a big question: Will Democrats help Republicans pass a replacement that is far less generous and comprehensive than the health law is, allowing Republicans an escape from the political fallout from repeal?Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer answered this question with a resounding No. Under no circumstances, he vowed, would Democrats throw Republicans such a political lifeline.

"We're not going to do a replacement," Schumer said of the Senate Democratic caucus. "If they repeal without a replacement, they will own it. Democrats will not then step up to the plate and come up with a half-baked solution that we will partially own. It's all theirs."

History Military Channel has several Pearl related shows on currently

I loved JPII, and he Reagan and Thatcher were exactly what was needed at the right time. All three were great ... together they were giants of history (sort of like the age of the founders).

I had (and still do have) high hopes for Pope Francis. His call is different from that of a President. But he has certainly taken steps and said things that give me concern.

For now I'll put my faith in the Spirit.

298 Just told Ms Shyning that the Pro Rodeo tickets we got are four or five rows more forward than last year, down two rows from the vomitory aisle.

She said, "vomitory?" "What kind of word is that?"

I said to look it up. Roman coliseums had them, and so do modern stadiums.

The Pro Rodeo at the Denver National Western complex is a very Christian event, with a prayer before the national anthem. Trump voters. We like it.

299 Obama's dogs were perfectly fine. Portuguese water dogs are good dogs. Can't blame Bo because his master is a jerk.

You never even saw Bo or that puppy they got at all after the initial stories about them. If they didn't end up as entrees, you know some lowly staffer got assigned to feeding and walking them and (hopefully) will be taking care of them after JEF moves out of the WH.

That "lowly staffer" gets a six-figure salary just for taking care of the dogs. WH dog-handler. Full-timer.

When they leave, I suppose one of the maids or a gardener ---who knows?--- will take over the basics.
