Before us is a picture of Francis Bacon “By Velasquez.” At the heart of this awesome image is the paraphrase of the famous portrait of Pope Innocent X written by Diego Velasquez.
Spattered with blood, with painfully distorted face, the Pope is depicted seated in a metal tubular structure, more precisely, enclosed in the frame of his own throne. His piercing screaming figure with helpless clenched fists dissolves in the background of the picture, merging with his dramatic vertical stripes.
Look at this improvised fire – it blazes right under the papal throne. Do not break out, do not shout in impotent rage, crying for help. The torments of hell on earth.
