In 1819, the famous Spanish painter Francisco Goya, deaf and suffering from a near-fatal illness, retreated to a solitary farmhouse outside Madrid known as the Quinta del Sordo ("Villa of the Deaf"). There, isolated from the world, he began to paint his inner demons directly onto the plaster walls of his home. These 14 murals, now known as the Black Paintings, depict witches, fights, and despair.

The most shocking of all is "Saturn Devouring His Son," a grotesque image of the Roman god tearing his child apart. Unbelievably, Goya painted this nightmare in his dining room. For years, he ate his meals in silence, watched by the monsters he created. The paintings were never meant to be seen by the public and were only transferred to canvas decades after his death, saving these masterpieces of horror for the world.
