X-radiograph(s) of "Bianca Maria Sforza" 

Curator: Well, here's an X-radiograph of "Bianca Maria Sforza", a painting attributed to Giovanni Ambrogio de Predis. It's held here at the Harvard Art Museums. What are your first impressions? Editor: It's surprisingly... skeletal. The support structure takes center stage, literally laying bare the bones beneath the surface. There’s a hidden architecture revealed. Curator: Exactly. It's fascinating how the underlying structure speaks volumes, doesn't it? Those dark lines showing the joins and battens. Editor: It makes me think about the sitter. Who was she, really? Was her image also carefully constructed, layers of meaning built upon her 'bones'? Curator: It’s a ghost of a painting, reminding us of time’s passage and the secrets held beneath the surface. Editor: Absolutely. A hidden portrait revealed by what remains.
