Francis Bacon ~ “Study after Velázquez’s Portrait of Pope Innocent X”, 1953

This Irish twentieth-century artist was seemingly obsessed with Velázquez’s portrait. Although he scrupulously avoided seeing the original, Bacon collected reproduction after reproduction of Velázquez’s Portrait of Pope Innocent X, becoming intimately familiar with the painting.  In Bacon’s own words, “I think it is one of the greatest portraits that has ever been made and I became obsessed by it. I buy book after book with this illustration in it of the Velazquez Pope, because it haunts me.“ Around 1950, Bacon began a series of paintings inspired by the Baroque masterpiece, which are recognized today as some of the most chilling, eerily haunting works of art ever to grace a museum.
