Study After Velázquez's Portrait Of Pope Innocent X

Artist: Francis Bacon | Year (completed): 1953 |  Style: Expressionism

In 1649, Pope Innocent X commissioned Velázquez to paint his portrait. Many artists and critics deem Portrait of Innocent X the finest portrait ever created. Velázquez, however, did not flatter his subject or try to showcase him in a better light. The Pope's portrait is renowned for its realism. It honestly portrays a highly educated, cunning, but aging man. Despite seeing it just once, Francis Bacon used Velázquez's painting as the source material. It’s important to note that Bacon never painted from life and preferred to use various visual sources, such as commissioned and found paintings. In Study After Velázquez's Portrait Of Pope Innocent X, Bacon could paint the Pope in an even less favorable manner than Velázquez did. In Bacon's interpretation, the Pope is depicted screaming, but the enclosing draperies and the deep, dark colors seem to "hush" his voice. The dark background hues give the picture a horrible and nightmare-like tone. Bacon's response to why he kept returning to Velázquez's portrait was that he had nothing against popes and was only looking for "an excuse to use these colours."

Alonso: Has anyone ever stopped to wonder why we’re still alive?

Amelia: Oh yeah.

Ernesto: All the time.

Velazquez: By all likelihood, we shouldn’t be.

George Condo, ‘Dreams and Nightmares of the Queen,’ 2006,

(Elizabeth Alexandra Mary; 21 April 1926 – 8 September 2022)

Oil on Canvas, 50,8 x 40,6 cm.

Commissioned by the Wrong Gallery for displaying at Tate Modern, George Condo's portrait of the Queen is perhaps the most controversial and criticized one. In the painting, Her Majesty is portrayed as what the artist described 'a toothless Cabbage Patch Doll' in his signature surrealist-distorted style.

It might not be apparent at a first glance, but Condo’s inspiration for this particularly bulbous portrait of Her Majesty was inspired by the Spanish painter, Velázquez.

«El primer punto sobre el cual quiero llamar la atención es que, fuera de lo propiamente humano, no existe nada cómico. Podrá un paisaje ser hermoso, sublime, insignificante o feo, pero nunca será ridículo. Cuando reímos a la vista de un animal, es porque hemos sorprendido en él una actitud o una expresión humana. Un sombrero nos hace reír, por la forma que los hombres le dieron, por el capricho humano en que se moldeó, y no porque el fieltro o la paja de que se compone susciten por sí mismos nuestra risa. No entiendo cómo un hecho tan importante dentro de su sencillez, no haya llamado mayormente la atención de los filósofos. Muchos definieron al hombre “un animal que ríe”. Habrían debido definirle también como un animal que mueve a risa, porque cuando algún otro animal o cualquier cosa inanimada motiva la risa, es en todos los casos por su parecido con el hombre, por la huella dejada por el hombre o por el uso hecho por el hombre».

Henri Bergson: Introducción a la metafísica. La risa. Editorial Porrúa, S. A., págs. 49-50.  México, 1986

Sapevo lei fosse una bella donna ma distesa sul sofà mi apparve essere qualcosa di più. Le sue linee mi rammentavano qualcosa appartenente a mondi lontani, ricchi di bellezza e sontuosità. La volevo sempre di più sentivo il mio desiderio di bellezza crescere nel mio cervello e nel mio corpo, era qualcosa di spirituale e fisico allo stesso tempo. Lei mi guardava distratta assorta nei suoi pensieri. Era chiaro le fosse migliaia di miglia lontana da qui...

I knew she was a beautiful woman but lying on the sofa she seemed to me to be something more. Her lines reminded me of something belonging to distant worlds, rich in beauty and sumptuousness. I wanted it more and more I felt my desire for beauty growing in my brain and in my body, it was something spiritual and physical at the same time. She looked at me absent-mindedly absorbed in her thoughts. It was clear the graves were thousands of miles away ...
