X-radiograph(s) of "Pieta" 

Editor: Here we have an x-radiograph of "Pieta," by an anonymous artist. It's almost ghostly, seeing the layers beneath the surface. What secrets do you think it reveals? Curator: Ah, a glimpse behind the curtain! For me, it's like whispering to the artist across time. We see pentimenti – those changes in the composition they made as they worked. It makes them feel, somehow, more human, don't you think? Editor: Definitely! It's not just a finished image, it's a process. Curator: Precisely! And it also speaks to the materiality of art – that it's built, layer upon layer, a physical object imbued with spirit. Editor: I’ll never look at a painting the same way again. Thanks!
