Francis Bacon - Oil
Three studies for figures at the base of a crucifixion is a 1944 triptych painted by Francis Bacon. The work is based on the Eumenides-or Furies-of Aeschylus' The Oresteia, and depicts three writhing anthropomorphic creatures set against a flat burnt orange background. Three Studies was executed in oil paint and pastel on Sundeala fibre board and completed within the space of two weeks. This is the central figure of the painting and it's mouth is positioned directly on its neck, rather than on a distinct face. It bares its teeth as if in a snarl, and is blindfolded by a drooping cloth bandage. This creature faces the viewer directly and is centralized by a series of converging lines radiating from the base of the pedestal. Now in the collection of the Tate Britain, London.
