Colossus - Goya
Goya is the preeminent painter of monsters—appropriate for a man painting in the period in which Napoleon, chaos and his totalitarian state overtook Goya’s native Spain.
He calls this figure Colossus.* We might call it Leviathan.
* NB: Recent research suggests the work itself was mapped out by Goya, but painted by an apprentice.
