X-radiograph(s) of "St. Dominic" Possibly 1 - 59

Editor: Here we have an X-radiograph of "St. Dominic" by Guido da Siena. It's fascinating to see the layers beneath the surface! What can we learn from the structure of this image? Curator: The x-ray reveals the artist's process, doesn't it? Notice the density of the paint application, how it defines the contours of the face. Consider the line work; it's incredibly deliberate. Editor: So, the medium itself becomes part of the message? Curator: Precisely. The radiographic view emphasizes the materiality, the physical act of creation. The abstract qualities of the grayscale emphasize the form over any representational intent. Editor: It's a new way to consider this artist's intention. Thanks! Curator: Indeed. Analyzing the formal elements here offers a unique glimpse into artistic choices.
