"Ritratto di papa Innocenzo X" (Portrait of Pope Innocent X) is a renowned painting by the Spanish master Diego Velázquez, completed around 1650. This work is widely celebrated for its striking realism and psychological depth, capturing the essence of Pope Innocent X with remarkable precision. Velázquez painted this portrait during his second trip to Italy, where he had the opportunity to study the works of Italian masters and further refine his technique.

The painting depicts Pope Innocent X seated, wearing a vibrant red mozzetta and camauro, with a white lace-trimmed rochet. His expression is intense and somewhat stern, reflecting both his authority and the complexities of his character. The background is kept simple, focusing the viewer's attention entirely on the figure of the Pope. Velázquez’s use of light and shadow enhances the three-dimensionality of the portrait, contributing to its lifelike appearance.

One of the most notable aspects of this portrait is Velázquez's ability to convey the psychological presence of the Pope. The artist captures not only the physical likeness but also the inner life of Innocent X, making it one of the most compelling portraits of the Baroque period. The Pope himself is said to have remarked on the realism of the painting, reportedly stating, "Troppo vero!" or "Too true!"

The painting is housed in the Galleria Doria Pamphilj in Rome, where it remains a significant attraction. It has inspired numerous artists and writers, including the 20th-century painter Francis Bacon, who created a series of works based on Velázquez's portrait. The "Portrait of Pope Innocent X" continues to be studied and admired for its masterful execution and profound insight into the human condition.
