FRANCIS BACON (1561-1626)
Francis Bacon captured the existential dread of the 20th century in searing, emotionally charged paintings. Known for his unsettling figures and distorted portraits, he tackled themes of suffering, mortality, and isolation. His Screaming Popesand Study after Velázquez’s Portrait of Pope Innocent X are iconic. Bacon’s work is housed at the Tate Britain, the MoMA in New York, and the Art Gallery of New South Wales, illustrating his global impact."The job of the artist is always to deepen the mystery."
