X-radiograph(s) of "3 River Landscapes" 

Editor: This is an X-radiograph of "3 River Landscapes," originally by Aert van der Neer. It's a rather abstract image with a tight grid-like pattern. What do you see when you look at this piece? Curator: I see a hidden architecture, literally! It's like peering beneath the skin of the artwork, revealing its bones. We’re not just seeing Van der Neer’s artistry, but the structure that supports it. What do you make of the dark squares? Editor: They look like the painting's been built in layers, maybe? Curator: Precisely! It's a reminder that art isn't always what it seems. It's got secrets and surprises, much like ourselves, I suppose. Editor: I never thought about art having a hidden life before! Curator: It's like an archeological dig in reverse, discovering the foundations instead of the facade. Food for thought, eh?
