Editor: This is an X-radiograph of "Holy Family, Donors and St. Paul," originally by Rogier van der Weyden. It's fascinating to see this normally hidden layer. What does this reveal about the artist’s process? Curator: It offers insight into the physical labor and materials involved. We can examine the underpainting, the artist's revisions, and the very substance of the pigments themselves. What does this radiographic view suggest about the artist's hand versus the perceived divine inspiration? Editor: That's a great point! It really shifts the focus from the spiritual to the tangible. Curator: Precisely! It prompts questions about artistic creation as both a skilled craft and a form of ideological production. Editor: I'll definitely think about that duality when I look at art from now on.
