I remember when Pope Innocent X accidentally dispersed the Spirit bomb evaporating him instantly.
I just woke up and this joke made my day.
He forgot to count to 3 and then lobest thy holy hand grenade of Antioch
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 would love to know why he is exploding.
I’m reminded of Ralph Steadman’s work.
Strong Warhammer 40k vibes!
