X-radiograph(s) of "Chariot of Bacchus" Possibly 10 - 67

Editor: This is an X-radiograph of "Chariot of Bacchus" by Luca Giordano. It’s fascinating to see the painting stripped down to its basic structure. What compositional elements stand out to you in this view? Curator: The underlying structure reveals much. Notice the density of the weave and how it influences the distribution of pigment, creating texture. Also, observe the forms; they are built up through layers, revealing the artist’s process. Editor: That's incredible. I hadn't considered the layering process. Thanks so much. Curator: Indeed, there is much to discover.
