X-radiograph(s) of "Appolo and Daphne" 

Editor: Here we have an X-radiograph of "Apollo and Daphne" after Sodoma. It's fascinating to see this process, which reveals the underlayers of the painting. What structural insights can we glean from this radiographic view? Curator: Notice the stark contrasts and forms revealed by the X-ray. The composition is dictated by the interplay of light and shadow, exposing the artist's initial structuring of the forms. Consider the density and layering; where do you see the most significant reworking? Editor: It looks like Daphne's torso has a lot of density, maybe adjustments in the positioning? This process exposes the artist's choices in a new light. Curator: Precisely. The radiographic view emphasizes the painting's materiality and construction. It offers a unique perspective on the creative process, revealing the evolution of form and structure. Editor: It’s amazing how seeing beyond the surface changes our understanding. Thanks for pointing out the density and the construction choices!
