Francis Bacon loved adding texture to his paintings and he sometimes used cut up pieces of his old corduroy trousers or sweaters and even dust swept up from the floor and pressed them to the wet paint to give them a variety of interesting patterns.

Francis Bacon, the great scientist and religious philosopher of the 17th century in England, had as his basic vision a religion which would help people to understand the moral questions and act accordingly, and a vision of science which would help people to understand the technological and scientific questions in order to improve control of the world and their own lives.
In England, Francis Bacon put forward a materialist view which saw matter in motion and as a combination of particles and nature as a combination of bodies endowed with manifold properties.
Philosophers from Francis Bacon to John Dewey have emphasised the increased power over nature that scientific knowledge affords and how it can contribute immeasurably to human advancement and happiness.
