The thumbnail for this looked like a weird version of Saturn Devouring His Son by Francisco Goya

Another commenter called it eerie, but I would say more tragic. It depicts the moment after Ivan has struck his son a deadly blow in a fit of rage.

I have a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that Ivan the Terrible posed/modelled for the painting that depicted the evebt

From the Wikipedia article:

“Repin used Grigoriy Myasoyedov, his friend and fellow artist, as the model for Ivan the Terrible, and writer Vsevolod Garshin for the Tsarevich.”

It's modeled after a similarly eerie painting; Ivan the Terrible and His Son Ivan.
