X-radiograph(s) of "St. Gregory" 

Editor: Here we have an X-radiograph of "St. Gregory," by the School of Melozzo da Forli. It's quite ghostly. What layers of secrets do you think it holds? Curator: Ah, an X-ray, indeed! It's like peering beneath the surface, isn't it? I imagine the artist’s hand, the alchemy of pigments, the secrets only time and technology can unveil. What does it whisper to you about the original work? Editor: I guess I'm wondering what the purpose of the X-ray is in the first place. What can we learn? Curator: Perhaps it's a glimpse into the artist’s process, the underdrawings, the pentimenti – those delightful "changes of mind" we all have. It's like holding history's hand, feeling the pulse of creation. What stories do you think it might tell? Editor: It's like archaeology, uncovering the hidden narratives within the paint itself! So cool. Curator: Exactly! It reminds us that art isn't just about the surface, but the journey, the struggle, the beautiful mess that brings something to life. It's art about art, meta, almost! Editor: I didn't think about it that way at all!
