\"SanataDante and Virgil, William-Adolphe Bouguereau\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

\"SaturnSaturn Devouring His Son, Francisco Goya<\/b><\/p>\n

One of the 14 Black Paintings that Goya p\"\"ainted directly onto the walls of his house depicts the Greek myth of titan Cronus eating one of his children due to fear of being overthrown since he overthrowned his father.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"PoetryHere is another version of the painting depicting the same myth which was painted by Rubens.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"TheThe Nightmare<\/b>, Henry Fuseli<\/b><\/p>\n

Portraying a nightmare. Portraying a woman having that nightmare. Giving inspiration to plenty of literary works. Affecting Mary Shelley. It\u2019s a very short list of what Fuseli did. The painting adorned with an extraordinary use of shadow depicts a deadalike woman, lying on her back, draped over the bed, her head hanging down. Fuseli, who was also a minister, dwelt on topics like sleep and dreams in general. However, this one is very unique since it doesn\u2019t refer to religious or literary themes.\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Here is a modern version painted by Crist\u00f3bal L\u00f3pez.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"StudyStudy After Velazquez\u2019s Portrait of Innocent X, Francis Bacon<\/b><\/p>\n

Francis Bacon, known for his haunting paintings, focused on human form. He claimed that he wanted to show \u2018\u2019brutality of fact\u2019\u2019 Here is his masterpiece, Bacon\u2019s version of Velazquez\u2019s \u2018\u2019Portrait of Pope Innocent X\u2019\u2019 Bacon painted old masters\u2019 popes. His palate became darker when his unhealthy relationship with Peter Lacy, who is a much older and dominating man, ends. This is also probably why Bacon began to focus on representations of father figures such as popes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Deterioration of Mind Over Matter, Otto Rapp<\/b><\/p>\n

Otto Rapp, a member of Society for Art of Imagination. A brilliant painter of horror! This painting you see over there shows a human skull decomposing over a birdcage. It shews pure gore, mental pain and chaos shaping in mind. There are also two figures looking at the skull.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019But see, amid the mimic rout<\/span><\/p>\n

A crawling shape intrude!<\/span><\/p>\n

A blood-red thing that writhes from out<\/span><\/p>\n

The scenic solitude!<\/span><\/p>\n

It writhes! – it writhes! – with mortal pangs<\/span><\/p>\n

The mimes become its food,<\/span><\/p>\n

And the angels sob at vermin fangs<\/span><\/p>\n

In human gore imbued.\u2019\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

Witches at Their Incantations, Salvator Rosa<\/b><\/p>\n

Salvator Rosa, who was a painter, poet, musician and printmaker, has been described as unorthodox and extravagant. He also had several enemies because of his criticisms of Roman art Culture. He wrote really harsh satirs. His paintings are dark, full of nightmares and bizarre creatures, totally blested. This painting centers on the swollen, broken neck of a hanged man on a boughs of a damaged tree. Plenty of women, some of them naked and stricken in years, pulling corpses from coffins, sacrificing babies, brewing\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Love

Love and Pain or Vampire, Edvard Munch<\/b><\/p>\n

Even though Munch says the painting doesn\u2019t show anything but a woman kissing a man on the neck, a lot of people think that there is a vampire sucking blood from his neck. The woman\u2019s pale skin and long red hair make her fit into a classical-vampire-look. Still, red-haired women aren\u2019t unfamiliar for Munch\u2019s paintings. He also painted six different versions of this subject. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"Ivan
Ivan the Terrible and His Son<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Ivan the Terrible and His Son<\/b><\/p>\n

The father’s regret, torment and dread shown as well as the son\u2019s expression of losing his consciousness and peace of the death. <\/span><\/p>\n

Ovid, who was one of three canonical poets of Latin Literature along with Virgil and Horace, wrote the \u2018\u2019Metamorphoses\u2019\u2019 and the scene comes from the story of Cadmus. He sent his followers to get water. However, the guardian of the well, son of Ares, killed them. We can see Cadmus coming to kill the Dragon in the background.<\/span><\/p>\n
