X-radiograph(s) of "Crucifix" 

Editor: This is an X-radiograph of "Crucifix," by Giunta Pisano. It's fascinating to see the layers beneath the surface. What strikes me is how technical this is - what do you see in this piece? Curator: It's not just technical, it's a revelation. This image allows us to excavate the historical context of a religious icon, revealing a hidden narrative of labor, materials, and perhaps even the socio-political forces at play in its creation. How does this x-ray change your perception of the 'Crucifix'? Editor: I guess it humanizes it. It's not just a divine symbol, but a constructed object. Curator: Exactly. And by understanding its construction, we can better understand its role in shaping belief and power dynamics. Editor: That makes me think about how we interpret religious art now, versus how it was originally intended. Curator: Precisely. This radiograph invites us to critically examine the layers of meaning embedded within, prompting a dialogue between past intentions and present interpretations. Editor: That's a great perspective, I had not considered that. Thanks!
