Francisco Goya in the last years of his life, created the Black Paintings, a series of murals, which they portray intense, haunting themes, reflective of both his fear of insanity and his bleak outlook of humanity. In one of them, “Saturn Devouring his Son”, Goya following the myth, depicts a full growth adult being eaten from Saturn, rather of a baby, as the myth presents. A mature human that he is aware of his fate as it was happening. Moreover, Saturn devours one limp at a time, rather full as is presented in the myth, making death having a duration through time, horribly slow. A heritage of fear and values, that Saturn got from his father Uranus and inherit to his children. Capitalism has created an unspoken value, that is governed from a facade of identities. In the in between of the unspoken value and the facade of identities, horror exists. A horror that is transferred from generation to generation. The everyday person exists in a situation of silence, seeing the horrifies of capitalism evolve, feeling doomed at best, watching a movie that the end is definitely inevitable, fully aware and forgotten.
