X-radiograph(s) of "Judith with the Head of Holofernes" Possibly 25 - 67

Editor: This is an X-radiograph of Titian's "Judith with the Head of Holofernes," held at the Harvard Art Museums. Seeing this image, I’m struck by its starkness. What does this x-ray reveal to you about the artwork's story? Curator: It’s compelling, isn't it? This x-ray unveils not just the underpainting, but also speaks to the act of seeing, of looking beneath surfaces. Considering Judith’s defiance against patriarchal violence, does this radiographic gaze offer a modern parallel to her unveiling of power structures? Editor: That's such a powerful way to frame it! It definitely adds another layer to my understanding. Curator: Indeed. Hopefully it offers insight into the intricate dialogues between art, power, and interpretation.
