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

Editor: So, this is an x-radiograph of "Portrait of a Girl", believed to be by Jacopo Palma Giovane. It's fascinating to see a painting stripped bare, like a secret revealed. What do you make of seeing a portrait this way? Curator: It's like peering into the soul of the painting itself, isn't it? We see the structure, the bones. Look at how the artist built up the layers, the density of the paint in certain areas. What do you think that tells us about their process? Editor: Maybe they reworked certain areas, or emphasized specific features? I hadn’t considered the artist's process so literally before! Curator: Exactly! It's a reminder that art isn't just about the surface; it's a process, a history embedded within. It invites us to see beyond the image. Editor: I'll never look at a painting the same way again. Curator: Nor will I!
