Preserved in the Medieval Civic Museum of Bologna, this masterpiece showcases the classicism of the 17th century, blending Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods seamlessly. The bust itself is a testament to Algardi's incredible skill as an artist. Created between 1615 and 1654, it portrays Pope Innocenzo X with astonishing realism and attention to detail. The intricate folds of his religious garments are meticulously carved, capturing both the grandeur and humility of his position as head of the Christian religion. In this portrait, Pope Innocenzo X exudes an air of authority and wisdom. His piercing gaze seems to penetrate through time itself, leaving viewers captivated by his presence.
