About the piece
This masterful 1670 portrait by Giovanni Battista Gaulli, known as Il Baciccio, depicts Pope Clement X with striking psychological depth. The artist's renowned ability to render light and texture is evident in the luminous folds of the red velvet vestments and the detailed features of the sitter.
