X-radiograph(s) of "Flight into Egypt" 

Editor: This is an X-radiograph of "Flight into Egypt" by Adriaen Isenbrant. The image is ghostly, with a grid obscuring what I think are figures. What can we learn from this unusual perspective? Curator: It reveals how art and science intersect, offering insight into artistic processes. The X-ray unveils the underpainting, challenging the completed image and raising questions about the artist's intentions versus what's visible to the public eye. It prompts us to consider the layers of meaning embedded within the artwork and who gets to see them. Editor: That's fascinating, I never thought about how much an X-ray could reveal about the layers of meaning. Curator: Precisely. It encourages a dialogue about authenticity and the power dynamics inherent in art historical analysis.
