Innocent X is a 1645 oil by Wolfgang Heimbach, depicting Innocent X, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This portrait, set against a dark blue backdrop, features a man dressed in red attire, including a hat and a cloak with a white collar. He wears a ring on his right hand, which he holds up to his chest. The man's face is framed by a short beard and mustache, and his gaze is directed slightly to the right. The painting's dark tones and the subject's formal attire suggest a somber and dignified atmosphere. The use of copper as the medium adds a sense of depth and richness to the overall image.
