Скачать или смотреть THE TRUTH BEHIND FRANCIS BACON’S SCREAMING POPES

Francis Bacon worked on his pope painting variations on Velázquez’s magnificent portrait of Pope Innocent X, for over twenty years. He was already exploring the idea while in the South of France in late 1946. The first surviving version (Head VI) dates from late 1949, and he finally stopped in the mid-1960s. Subsequently, Bacon announced that he thought the works ‘silly’ and wished he had never done them. He acquired endless reproductions of the Velázquez painting from books, but famously did not see the original when he visited Rome in late 1954. In this video we explore the truth behind Francis Bacon’s screaming Popes.
