Connexions : Bacon-Vélasquez

Une des plus grandes obsessions de Francis Bacon est le tableau du Pape Innocent X peint par Vélasquez en 1650. La rencontre avec le portrait du pape Innocent X fait partie des événements qui ont contribué à construire le récit mythique de la vie de Francis Bacon. Entre 1949 et 1971, Bacon a peint 45 papes… tous d’après le célèbre portrait de Velázquez. « Je veux peindre le cri, » dit Francis Bacon, pourtant dans la peinture de Vélasquez, le pape ne crie pas.
