Francis Bacon’s Two Greatest Obsessions | Francis Bacon's 'Study of Red Pope, 1962, 2nd version'

In this rare masterpiece, for the first and only time in his oeuvre, Bacon united his two greatest obsessions: reworking the 1962 canvas Study from Innocent X, the artist staged a haunting encounter between the Pope and George Dyer - his great muse and lover.
Unseen in public for nearly 45 years, Study of Red Pope, 1962, 2nd version offers a deeply poignant insight into one of the Francis Bacon's most important bodies of work.
