For His Son

Saturn Devouring His Son is a very interesting Romanticism mural that was created during the 19th Century. The subject matter, as well as the circumstances of the artist behind the work, contain the feeling of tragedy and darkness that draws the viewer in. The canvas transfer of the mural is displayed at the Museo del Parado, in Madrid, Spain. Saturn Devouring His Son was an oil mural painted on the wall of his house during the 19th century. The large work features Saturn with the bloodied arm of one of his sons in his mouth. Both of the figures are nude, the son covered only with blood that comes from his missing head and unseen arm.

Saturn is crouched down, one knee on the ground, as though he is too big even for the amount of space Goya has given him. To push this even further, Saturn is cut off. He fills the space completely. His body is almost…

First I would like to say that Johns letter to his son hit me very close to the heart, it is very beautiful and heartfelt containing so much meaning. I think john is showing his son he can be different and have an impact on the world by always choosing love, in my opinion to love another is the supreme sacrifice of self. For we must give freely and completely of ourselves to another, without reservation or condition. To give less serves only to hinder the growth of our evolution from self…
