X-radiograph(s) of "Madonna and Child with St. Liberale " 

Editor: This X-radiograph provides a fascinating, ghostly view of Marco Basaiti's "Madonna and Child with St. Liberale." It's like looking beneath the surface of art history itself. What does this kind of technical analysis reveal about the art of the time? Curator: Well, these radiographs are revelatory. They aren't just about verifying authenticity; they offer a glimpse into the artistic process. The underlying structure, the hidden layers - they tell a story about artistic choices and the socio-economic conditions that influenced material availability and workshop practices. Who commissioned the work and where might it have originally been displayed? Editor: That’s so interesting. It’s not just about the finished product, but the whole social context of its creation. Thanks for sharing your perspective. Curator: Indeed. It encourages us to consider art as more than just aesthetics, but as a reflection of its time.
