X-radiograph(s) of "Virgin in Church" 

Editor: This is an X-radiograph of "Virgin in Church" by an anonymous artist. The image is ghostly and translucent. What symbols do you see in this seemingly hidden artwork? Curator: The X-ray reveals the hidden layers, doesn't it? We see the Virgin, yes, but also the echoes of revisions, pentimenti. This reveals the artist's process, but also something deeper. The Virgin, a potent symbol of purity and motherhood, is almost spectral here. Is this a questioning of the idealized image? Editor: That's a fascinating perspective. I was focused on the visual texture itself. Curator: Exactly! The texture, the way the X-ray unveils the underlying structure, this can be interpreted as a metaphor for revealing hidden truths and deeper understanding. Editor: Thank you, I never thought of it that way! Curator: It's about seeing beyond the surface, isn't it?
