At 685 × 505 mm image size on a 945 × 680 mm sheet, this is a print of genuine physical authority — large enough to carry the full force of Bacon's imagery without the diminishment that smaller reproductive formats inevitably impose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe triptych format was Bacon's most personal and most sustained formal invention — adopted in the early 1960s and never abandoned, the three-panel structure simultaneously referencing the altarpiece tradition of Western sacred art and Bacon's own secular, existential concerns: the isolation of the human figure, the violence of the body in space, the impossibility of communication between beings who share a world but cannot share a consciousness. In the 1987 painting — one of Bacon's last major triptychs before his death in 1992 — these preoccupations reach a final, stripped-down intensity: the figures are more isolated than ever, the space around them more vertiginous, the paint more raw.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe colour lithograph, executed in 1989, reproduces the painting with the fidelity and chromatic range that the medium allows — the orange grounds, the distorted flesh tones, the compressed spatial fields of Bacon's late manner translated into ink on Arches wove paper with a quality of surface and a depth of colour that distinguish this from mere reproduction and elevate it to the status of an independent graphic work. Arches wove — one of the most prestigious French fine art papers, associated with the highest traditions of intaglio and lithographic printing — provides the ideal substrate for the tonal complexity of Bacon's palette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eReferenced as S. 25 in the catalogue raisonné of Bacon's prints, from an edition of 180 — signed in pencil and numbered by the artist. Bacon's paintings regularly achieve seven and eight figures at auction; signed prints of this scale and period are among the most actively sought in the contemporary market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping \u0026amp; Delivery\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e✔ Worldwide shipping from France\u003cbr\u003e✔ Professional packaging with full insurance\u003cbr\u003e✔ Tracking number included for secure delivery\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"S1PPyQ\"\u003e\u003ca title=\"Francis bacon collection\" href=\"https:\/\/lynartstore.com\/collections\/francis-bacon-collection-raw-emotions-distorted-figures-and-modern-expressionism?_pos=2\u0026amp;_psq=francis\u0026amp;_ss=e\u0026amp;_v=1.0\"\u003e➡️ See all available Francis Bacon works\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/lynartstore.com\/pages\/contact-us\" title=\"Contact\"\u003e➡️ Contact us for any inquiries\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFAQ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this an original Francis Bacon print?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — an original lithograph printed in colours on Arches wove paper, signed in pencil and numbered by the artist from an edition of 180.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the edition size?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e180 impressions — signed and numbered by Bacon in pencil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this work referenced in the catalogue raisonné?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — listed as S. 25 in the authoritative reference for Bacon's prints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the relationship between the print and the painting?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe lithograph reproduces Bacon's 1987 triptych painting — one of the last and most psychologically concentrated works of his late career — in a large-format colour lithograph executed in 1989, two years after the original painting and three years before the artist's death.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is Arches wove paper?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of the most prestigious French fine art papers, produced by the Arches mill — associated with the highest standards of lithographic and intaglio printing, prized for its surface quality, weight, and archival stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the work framed?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlease contact us for framing options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo you ship internationally?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — worldwide, with museum-grade flat packaging for large-format works on paper, full insurance, and shipment tracking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eSelected for you — \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/lynartstore.com\/collections\/david-hockney?_pos=1\u0026amp;_psq=david+ho\u0026amp;_ss=e\u0026amp;_v=1.0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eDavid Hockney\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e's collection, discover it now !\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cartplacer type=\"1\" data_capture_form=\"false\" catalog=\"false\" unit=\"cm\" dimensions_standard=\"hxw\" rotate=\"false\" frames=\"true\" resizable=\"false\" button_width=\"auto\" position=\"below-add\" default_style=\"true\" gallery=\"109863\"\u003e\u003c\/artplacer\u003e \u003cartplacer additional_spaces=\"122633\" space=\"122633\" type=\"2\" data_capture_form=\"false\" catalog=\"false\" unit=\"cm\" dimensions_standard=\"hxw\" rotate=\"false\" frames=\"true\" resizable=\"false\" button_width=\"auto\" position=\"below-add\" default_style=\"true\" gallery=\"109863\"\u003e\u003c\/artplacer\u003e \u003cartplacer type=\"3\" unit=\"cm\" dimensions_standard=\"hxw\" button_width=\"auto\" position=\"below-add\" default_style=\"true\" gallery=\"109863\"\u003e\u003c\/artplacer\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Francis Bacon","offers":[{"title":"945 × 680 mm","offer_id":54838403629402,"sku":null,"price":13200.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0243\/8699\/4210\/files\/2_ff35a5e6-8dc2-410c-bf66-a96025977afd.png?v=1790175370","url":"https:\/\/lynartstore.com\/fr\/products\/francis-bacon-triptych-1987","provider":"LYNART STORE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
