X-radiograph(s) of "Portrait of a Woman" 

Editor: This is an x-ray of Lucas Cranach the Elder's "Portrait of a Woman," housed at the Harvard Art Museums. It's eerie and abstract. What can you tell me about it? Curator: It's like seeing through secrets, isn't it? X-rays reveal the artist's process, pentimenti, the ghostly under-layers. It's a dance between science and art history, stripping bare the creative act. What does it whisper to you? Editor: That even masterpieces are built on revisions, hidden choices. I guess nothing's ever truly finished. Curator: Precisely! And sometimes, the imperfections, the hidden history, is the most beautiful part. It’s like life, really. Editor: I never thought an x-ray could be so poetic. Curator: Art unveils itself in unexpected ways. Keep looking, keep questioning.
