Study from Innocent X is an oil-on-canvas painting by the Irish-born English artist Francis Bacon, from 1962. It is held in a private collection.[1] Based on Portrait of Innocent X (c. 1650) by Diego Velázquez, the work depicts a distorted image of the red-robed Pope Innocent X, sitting on a dark red chair on a platform inside a cuboid cage indicated by thin black lines, standing on a light brownish yellow floor with a curved lighter red wall behind.
It measures 78 by 55.75 inches (198.1 cm × 141.6 cm).[1]
Bacon later remade Study from Innocent X, as Study of Red Pope 1962. 2nd version 1971.
