That is an etching, not a painting. They scribed into a plate, then inked it and printed by pressing it through a press. Most people don't know the difference. But that is definitely an etching. In any event, the subject matter is disgusting and disturbing.
Artists don't make up art of specific actions like this de novo. It is implanted from somewhere, some story they heard, or it could even be comms (black or white).
You can find a rather ridiculous amount of art like this going back millennia. You can find stories about it in every history book, or book from history; including all religious texts, like the bible.
That's a photo of a painting.
Lmao, you win.
a pixelated lcd/led graphic rendering of a .jpg file processed by some app
best we can all agree, it is an image
Oh snap!

This shit is everywhere, and always has been.
a lot of historic "art" and literature points to child sacrifice, doubt it was all made up by a few whack nut artists.
Haha! BUT there are artists who don’t paint horrific scenes (probably the less known...).
pretty sure most artists back then weren't just painting for 'fun', supplies were scarce, and life wasn't all that enjoyable.
just look back to early photographs from 120 years ago, people didn't smile.
the photos were taken to record history, as was most historical art.
these people were painting what was going on in the world.
