Francis Bacon collaborated with printmakers to make color lithographs after his paintings. This print reprises a painting that the artist made in 1965 as part of his ongoing series of angst-filled works inspired by Velasquez's Portrait of Pope Innocent X. In contrast to the Art Center's painting by Bacon, Study after Velasquez's Portrait of Pope Innocent X, 1953, in this work the Pope is seated on a small grassy hill.
