Francis Bacon: Portrait of John Edwards.

 Study after Velasquez: Portrait of Pope Inno, inspired by a famous photo of  Joseph Goebbels.
Bacon was fascinated with the theme of the speech-making politician: his studio was filled with press photographs of Hitler and his Nazi henchmen Herman Goering and Joseph Goebbels, whose speeches before and during the war had created an indelible memory in the minds of Bacon’s generation.

This photo was found in Bacon´s studio after his death.
