X-radiograph(s) of "Adoration" 

Editor: This is an X-radiograph of "Adoration" after Antonio del Rincon. It’s so interesting to see this painting through a different lens. What can you tell me about this work as an X-ray? Curator: Well, it reveals so much about the painting’s history and fabrication. X-rays like this were crucial tools for art historians to understand the creative process of artists, and how the work was received publicly. What do you notice about the underpainting? Editor: There seems to be different layers, alterations maybe? What does that suggest about the artist or the culture around the painting? Curator: It hints at a constant reevaluation and refinement, reflecting perhaps evolving artistic styles or even changing social tastes. It is like seeing the artist and the audience in conversation over time. Editor: This makes me think about how we constantly re-interpret art and what it reveals about our own time! Curator: Exactly! This is not only about Rincon, but about us.
