Yeah, I've always seen Goya's version (if this is even Saturn at all) to be an inversion or some kind of commentary on the original theme. There are a few famous paintings of this scene from before Goya's time.
If anything it feels to me that Saturn was in the darkness doing this act but now there is a bright and sudden light being shown on him and he is shocked or ashamed. Almost like he has possibly "snapped out" of the state he was just in and is now maybe seeing what he has done for the first time himself.
Part of this art is that there really are no "facts". It was painted on the wall of his home some time before his death but wasn't found before he died. He never gave it a name or said anything about it.
In this hand-drawn animated tale, elderly married couple Hilda (Peggy Ashcroft) and Jim Bloggs (John Mills) have their quiet, simple lives in the English countryside interrupted when they learn of an impending nuclear attack. Not completely understanding the gravity of their situation, Hilda and Jim react archaically and insufficiently after the attack -- and the film takes a dark turn as the radiation begins taking its toll on the unsuspecting couple.
I've been saying this for a while. It's deeply upsetting to the point of causing me to fall into almost complete nihilism. It's true. The truth no longer matters.
Edit: wrong thread.
