I believe that both these paintings have been strongly influenced by their own life experiences. Francis Bacon was born on the 28th of October 1909 and he died on the 28th of April 1992. Bacon was born in Dublin‚ to parents of British descent. Captain Anthony Edward Mortimer Bacon‚ his father‚ was a veteran of the
