X-radiograph(s) of "Last Supper" 

Editor: We’re looking at an X-radiograph of "Last Supper," by a follower of Jacopo Tintoretto. It’s haunting, like a ghostly memory of the original painting. What secrets do you think this peek behind the canvas reveals? Curator: It's like an archaeological dig into the artist's mind! You see the underpainting, the initial gestures, the changes they made. The X-ray shows the lead white pigment, which is denser and blocks the X-rays, so it highlights the areas where the artist built up the lights. What do you think that says about their process? Editor: It’s amazing to see the evolution, layer by layer. Curator: Exactly! It makes me think about the passage of time and the hidden depths within even the most familiar images.
