X-radiograph(s) of "Winslow family" 

Curator: This is an X-radiograph of the "Winslow Family" portrait, originally by Joseph Blackburn. It's a 14x17 film revealing layers beneath the surface. Editor: Wow, ghostly! It's like peering into the souls of those Winslows, all shadows and hints. Creepy cool! Curator: Indeed. The image gives insight into the artist's process. We see how the composition was built, pentimenti, the evolution of forms. Editor: It's a deconstruction of portraiture! Stripped bare, we're left with the skeletal structure of identity. Makes you wonder what secrets paintings hold. Curator: It’s a reminder that what we see on the surface is only part of the story, the symbolism and imagery can be literally layered. Editor: A hidden narrative, revealed through technology. Gives a whole new meaning to "portrait of a family," doesn't it? Curator: Absolutely, a new perspective, a new appreciation. Editor: A ghostly reminder of what lies beneath.
