Francis Bacon (1909-1992) was a British figurative painter, born in Ireland, known for his raw and unsettling imagery. He frequently focused on the human form, depicting subjects such as crucifixions, portraits of popes, self-portraits, and images of close friends. His abstracted figures are often portrayed in isolation within geometric structures.
