X-radiograph(s) of "St. Luke Painting the Virgin" 

Editor: This is an X-radiograph of Rogier van der Weyden's "St. Luke Painting the Virgin". It looks like a ghostly impression of the original painting, almost like a peek beneath the surface. What story does this X-ray tell, beyond what we see in the painting itself? Curator: Ah, it’s like seeing the bones beneath the skin of a masterpiece! X-rays reveal the artist's process – pentimenti, or changes made while painting. It’s like time travel, witnessing van der Weyden reconsider his composition, layer by layer. Does that resonate, imagining the artist wrestling with his vision? Editor: Absolutely! It's like archaeology, uncovering hidden decisions. Thank you!
