Description:

Inspired by Portrait of Pope Innocent X by the Spanish painter Diego Velázquez, executed during a trip to Italy around 1650. Many artists and art critics consider it the finest portrait ever created.. It is housed in the Galleria Doria Pamphilj in Rome

This is a portrait of my friend and colleague, a talented scientist. This painting is about the balance of faith and scientific belief becoming fact.

Written in text in upper left is “ Should we die or kill for beliefs?”
