No joke, the guy's name really is Bacon. The painting is done after the portrait Innocent X by Diego Velasquez (featured earlier in this blog by the Rokeby Venus), which is also shown here, (it's the painting on top). I've seen this thing in person at the Chicago Institute of Art, and it is really something. This is my best buddy in the whole wide world reacting to the artistry.

I love Francis Bacon. I have a Francis Bacon book, if you are interested.
