Saturn Devouring His Son is the name given to a painting by Spanish artist Francisco Goya. It depicts the Greek myth of Cronus (in the title
Romanised to Saturn), who, fearing that his children
would supplant him, ate each one upon their birth.
It is one of the series of Black Paintings that Goya painted directly onto the walls of his house sometime between
1819 and 1823.
