As the title goes, I'd like a hand with identifying the title of a painting.
I believe it depicts a man clutching a dead or wounded person, facing in the general direction of the viewer. The dead person is to the viewer's right of the main subject.
In a (perhaps superficial) colour palette and stylistic way, it reminds me of Saturn Devouring, shown here. Especially, the prominent eyes, but while Saturn looks animalistic, the subject I'm looking for looks despairing.
I also believe that the face is more detailed than Saturn's, but I could be misremembering.
I'm not even certain about the composition of the painting.

This? It's Ivan the terrible and his son, whom he had killed

I think you are talking about Richard Upton Pickman's work. Guys pretty based.

YES
THANK YOU SWEET CHRIST
So in retrospect, I think it's interesting that my memory was largely shaped by the blood on skin, the prominent eyes, and the dark background, and that I simultaneously remembered nothing about the scene as a whole, not even the disheveled furniture.

Such a great painting

Wait, OP, did you ever play TF2?

You're looking for Ilya Repin, Ivan the Terrible.
You should kill yourself for being a literal meme however, unless you were trolling in which case 8/10.

What surprizes me the most is that, without even knowing that the painting was about Ivan murdering his son, you (unwillingly?) compared it to Saturn eating his sons in a most sweet metaphor.
>>1350557
This is a meme painting and you should feel bad, OP.

That is Francisco Goya-Saturn Devouring His Son.
