Pope Alexander VI - Caricature

[ars_anima]

Here's a caricature of pope Alexander VI, alias Roderic Llançol de Borja i Borja (Rodrigo Borgia).

He's in my opinion one of the worst popes ever, and he was a great fun to paint! I strongly suggest you to look up his name on wikipedia, he was quite a sinful and interesting fellow.

The painting is acrylic on canvas marouflaged on hardboard, and mesures 70'' x 18''.
My college's library has let me known they were interested in acquiring & displaying it permanently. I'll let you know if it happens!

BTW sorry for the bad pictures, i'll get a better one soon, I swear!

He looks like the goldfish with the big googly eyes. (That's a compliment; those are the cutest! )

Something about the eyes made me click on the thumbnail... They remind me of my chihuahua, Niki (R.I.P.)  He was an evil one too, but in a cute way.  Love the painting!

thanks for all those kind comments!

imxriotxhere: unfortunately, it wasn't bought by the college. Not appropriate enough, due to the ideologically sensitive nature of the subject. but thanks for the encouragement!

mochaxlight: they're awesome indeed! (and don't worry, he's not supposed to look handsome )

putttipple: You almost guessed my muse! His face was inspired by the cute but ugly mug of a pug.

Thanks again, folks!
