"Portrait of Pope Innocent X" is a striking oil on canvas painting by the Spanish artist Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez, completed during his second trip to Italy around 1650. Considered one of Velázquez's masterpieces, the portrait is housed in the Galleria Doria Pamphilj in Rome. The work depicts Pope Innocent X, born Giovanni Battista Pamphilj, who reigned as Pope from 1644 until his death in 1655.

The portrait is renowned for its realistic representation and the psychological depth it conveys of the sitter. Velázquez's skillful use of brushwork, color, and light brings out the textures of the Pope's skin, the luxurious fabrics of his attire, and the ornate chair in which he is seated. The Pope's intense gaze and the subtle interplay of light and shadow on his face suggest a man of power and intellect, yet also hint at the burdens of his papal responsibilities.

Measuring 140 cm × 119 cm (55 in × 47 in), the painting is a testament to Velázquez's mastery of portraiture. It captures not only the physical likeness of Innocent X but also his character and the political and religious complexities of his papacy. The portrait's influence extends beyond its era, having inspired numerous artists, including Francis Bacon, who famously created a series of expressionistic paintings based on Velázquez's original.

Velázquez's portrait of Innocent X is widely regarded as one of the finest papal portraits and a seminal work in the history of Western art. Its significance lies in its departure from the idealized representations of the time, presenting a more direct and human portrayal of a pope, which has been both admired and analyzed by art historians and critics for centuries.
