Study after Velázquez's Portrait of Pope Innocent X is a visual artwork associated with the Expressionism movement [1]. The piece reinterprets Diego Velázquez's original 17th-century portrait of Pope Innocent X, transforming it through the stylistic and emotional intensity characteristic of its artistic classification.

Created as a study, the work diverges from the classical realism of Velázquez's depiction, embracing the distorted forms and heightened emotional impact typical of Expressionism [1]. Its execution reflects the movement’s emphasis on subjective experience and psychological depth rather than objective representation.
