X-radiograph(s) of "Odalisque with a Slave" Possibly 1 - 90

Editor: Here we have an X-radiograph of "Odalisque with a Slave", based on the work of Ingres. It has a ghostly, almost unsettling beauty. What's your take on this peek behind the canvas? Curator: Oh, it's like seeing a ghost, isn't it? A whisper from the past. I see the artist's hand, the hidden structure, like a skeleton beneath the skin. It reminds me that every masterpiece has its secrets, its hidden layers of creation and perhaps, correction. Editor: That's fascinating. So, it’s not just about the final image, but the process? Curator: Exactly! It makes me wonder what Ingres would think of us seeing his process laid bare like this. Maybe he'd be horrified, or maybe he'd see the beauty in the struggle. It gives me chills to think about. Editor: I never thought about art in quite that way. It really adds a new dimension. Curator: Right? It’s like reading the artist's diary.
