EXPLORING ART

Episode 2170 | "Why Do We Call This Art?"


Listen Later

In this episode, we take a closer look at Francisco Goya’s Saturn Devouring His Son, a painting that completely changes how we think about beauty in art. Instead of being calm or visually pleasing, this piece is intense, emotional, and honestly a little uncomfortable to look at. We talk about how Goya takes a mythological story and turns it into something that feels very real and human, especially through his use of darkness and distortion. As the conversation develops, we explore whether something disturbing can still be considered beautiful and why this painting continues to stand out even today. Join us as we break down this powerful work and reflect on what art is really meant to make us feel.
