"Pope Innocent X" is a portrait by the Spanish painter Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez, one of the most influential artists of the Spanish Golden Age. Completed around 1650, the painting is widely considered one of Velázquez's masterpieces and a seminal work in the history of Western art. It depicts Giovanni Battista Pamphilj, who reigned as Pope Innocent X from 1644 to 1655, and is housed in the Galleria Doria Pamphilj in Rome.

The portrait is renowned for its realistic depiction of the Pope, capturing both his physical appearance and the psychological complexity of his character. Velázquez's use of color, light, and brushwork conveys a sense of the sitter's authority and introspection, while also reflecting the baroque style of the period. The artist's ability to render textures, such as the luxurious fabrics of the Pope's vestments and the intricate details of the chair, adds to the painting's visual impact.

The work has been praised for its vivid portrayal of a powerful figure, with Innocent X's intense gaze and slightly open mouth suggesting a moment of contemplation or decision. The painting's influence extends beyond its artistic merits; it has been the subject of numerous interpretations and studies, and it inspired the 20th-century artist Francis Bacon to create his own series of paintings known as the "Study after Velázquez's Portrait of Pope Innocent X."

"Pope Innocent X" is a testament to Velázquez's skill as a portraitist and his ability to convey the human condition. It remains a key work for understanding the development of portraiture in European art and continues to captivate viewers with its powerful representation of one of the 17th century's most significant religious leaders.
