X-radiograph(s) of "Philips Lucasz" 

Editor: This is an x-radiograph of Philips Lucasz, originally by Rembrandt. It has such an ethereal quality, almost ghostlike. What secrets do you think this peek behind the painting's surface reveals? Curator: Well, it’s like looking into Rembrandt's artistic soul, isn’t it? Seeing the underpainting, the layers beneath... it hints at his process, the revisions, the pentimenti. Imagine Rembrandt wrestling with the light, the shadows, searching for that perfect expression. Editor: So, it's like an archaeological dig, but for art? Curator: Precisely! It strips away the finished veneer and lays bare the creative struggle, reminding us that even masters like Rembrandt sometimes miss the mark. It’s strangely comforting, don't you think? Editor: I suppose it is. It makes the finished painting even more impressive. Curator: Yes, and this radiographic view offers a new appreciation of Rembrandt's genius.
