Brian Cox visits the Prado Museum and discovers the painting that best portrays his character from ‘Succession’

Luckily for his fans, the 4th season of ‘Succession’ has already been released, one of the best series you can find on HBO Max. The production is one of the most anticipated series of HBO in this 2023. And it is that the ins and outs between Logan Roy and his four children have kept us in tension since the first season premiered in 2018. In the new chapters, the patriarch does not trust that none of his sons are fit to take over his great company, Waystar Royco. The first chapter has already arrived on HBO Max and we have seven more episodes ahead to see what these power goings-on remain..

While the series starts, it is normal for the cast to be in full promotion, yen Spain we have the visit of actor Brian Cox, in charge of giving life to the tycoon Logan Roy. During his time in the city, Cox has been another tourist and has taken the opportunity to visit some of the most emblematic sites of the capital, such as the Prado Museum. And it is precisely here where he has left us a great moment that fans of the series will love. When visiting Goya’s work, the actor has stopped before a painting in particular, one of the most famous that the artist painted. We are talking about ‘Saturn devouring his children’. The actor has posed before him, but the anecdote has not ended there: he has also taken the opportunity to comment on the painting in relation to his character.

“This is the painting with which Logan Roy is described to me: Saturn devouring his children. It’s a bit harsh I think…”

There is no doubt that Goya’s painting most graphically reflects Logan’s relationship with his four “offspring”, Kendall, Siobhan, Roman and Connor.

The fourth season of ‘Succession’ arrived on HBO Max on March 27. Throughout its four installments now, the series created by Jesse Armstrong explores themes of power and family dynamics through the eyes of patriarch Logan Roy (Cox) and his four children, Kendall (Jeremy Strong), Siobhan (Sarah Snook) , Roman (Kieran Culkin) and Connor (Alan Ruck).

In new episodes, the sale of media conglomerate Waystar Royco to tech visionary Lukas Matsson (Alexander Skarsgård) draws ever closer. The prospect of this seismic sale causes existential angst and family division among the Roys as they anticipate what their lives will be like once the deal is complete. A power struggle ensues as the family weighs a future in which their cultural and political weight is severely reduced.
