The painter’s love for the Principality
The painting, Study from the Human Body (Man Turning On Light), completed in 1973, is a colour giclée print mounted on aluminium. The donation of this work, through the Majid Boustany Foundation, speaks to the British painter’s love for the Principality, where he settled in 1946. The foundation pays particular attention to the period during which Francis Bacon lived and worked in Monaco and France.
