Ok, when I was a freshman in college I took an art class. It helped me a lot with background, classics and modern art. But there is a painting that I need named with the artist.
The painting is very low in detail, I believe it is from the 17th century, and it is of a monster-ish human with gray-ish long hair, beaty eyes in a dark environment, kind of curled up eating what looks like a smaller man.
I have a link here, I stumbled on it looking for something unrelated and the tag in undescriptive:

Name of painting - Grotesque animal eating human?
that is a francisco goya that wasn't titled -- all titles were made after his death.
it is a painting of saturn eating one of his sons. the myth is saturn was warned that one of his sons would overthrow him so he ate all his sons -- except his wife tricked him and jupiter survived and overthrew him.
it is assumed to be a reference to the spanish civil war. many of his paintings are anti-war. it was actually painted on the wall of his house in the dining room.

That's by the artist Goya and the name of the painting is "Saturn" or sometimes "Saturnus" (latin).

Go to Google, type in "Hieronymous Bosche" and see if that's not your man. If it's not it will give you enough monsters eating people to satisfy you.
