Stephen Fry as Pope Innocent X


The brilliant artist John Myatt who went to prison for his part in the biggest art fraud of the 20th century, has had a series of programmes on the Sky art channel called Fame in the Frame where he paints famous people in the style of the old masters.
Stephen Fry was one of the celebs who asked to be painted as pope Innocent X like the original one painted by Diego Velazquez...as he had always liked the painting.
Whilst myatt painted the full picture ,mine is just the head and shoulders...hope you like it.
If the series is repeated it is worth watching...
