X-radiograph(s) of "Christ in Limbo" 

Editor: This is an X-radiograph of Sassetta's "Christ in Limbo," a ghostly view beneath the surface. It’s fascinating, seeing the underpainting like this! What secrets does this peek behind the canvas reveal? Curator: Ah, yes, it’s like a poem whispered from beneath the visible world. Here, the X-ray unveils not just the material reality, but also echoes of the artist’s initial vision, the hidden scaffolding of faith, if you will. Do you see how the lines converge and diverge, creating a dance of intention and accident? Editor: It’s like a conversation between the artist and the materials, a dialogue revealed only by this hidden view. I wonder what other secrets lie beneath the surfaces of the art we admire? Curator: Indeed, perhaps every great work holds within it a multitude of unseen possibilities, a silent chorus of choices made and unmade. It's a gentle reminder that there's always more to discover, a depth that continues to draw us in.
