The seated bronze statue of Innocent X is in the Hall of the Horatii and Curiatii of the Palazzo dei Conservatori. Algardi received the prestigious commission for it around 1646. It was procured by Algardi by means of intrigue, having originally been assigned to the older sculptor Mochi. Despite the fact that the first cast was flawed, Algardi was awarded the cross of the Cavaliere di Cristo.
The terracotta model of the statue is in the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna.
