Editor: Here we have an x-radiograph of "Savoy Princess," by an anonymous artist. It's quite striking how the skeletal structure of the painting is revealed. What do you make of its composition? Curator: Note the intricate lattice formed by the wood panel, intersecting with the ethereal quality of the subject's face. The superimposition creates a dynamic tension between the support and the image. It's as if the material substrate asserts its presence. Editor: So, the physical structure is just as important as the depiction itself? Curator: Precisely. The formal elements of line, tone, and structure intertwine to create a dialogue between visibility and invisibility. Editor: That's fascinating, I never thought of it that way! Curator: Considering the form allows a deeper understanding of the artwork.
