    I remember when Pope Innocent X accidentally dispersed the Spirit bomb evaporating him instantly.

    The original painting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portrait_of_Innocent_X
    The page about Bacon’s study - or studies : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Study_after_Vel%C3%A1zquez’s_Portrait_of_Pope_Innocent_X

    Am I the only one finding a ressemblance between this portrait and Alejandro Jodorowsky’s Incal or Technopriests?

    I’m reminded of Ralph Steadman’s work.
