Original lithographic print with art by Francis Bacon for an edition of Derriere Le Miroir No 162 published in 1966. Part of a set of three works.
Francis Bacon's triptychs are among his most significant and iconic works, showcasing his intense exploration of human emotion, physicality, and existential anguish. A triptych is a painting divided into three panels, and Bacon used this format extensively throughout his career to create compelling, dramatic compositions.
Bacon was an Irish-born British painter, widely considered one of the most important and influential artists of the 20th century. He is known for his bold, emotionally charged, and often disturbing figurative paintings that explore themes of existentialism, human vulnerability, and the human condition. Bacon's work is characterized by distorted and contorted forms, creating a sense of psychological intensity and angst.
The piece is framed with an antique hand painted frame with hand silvered inner edges and light gray passepartout.
