Kronos devouring one of his children
Francisco Goya
Painted on a wall of his house between 1819 and 1823.
Not exactly one of mine... I know.
But the expression of murderous madness and fear that leads an old tyrant to tear his own children to pieces is so evocative of what's going on in Libya, that I could not resist.

I remember the very first time I saw this image, in a copy of a newspaper supplement when I was younger. Thank you in an odd way for posting it and yes you are so right xx
