X-radiograph(s) of "Pieta" 

Editor: This is an X-radiograph of Fra Angelico's "Pieta." It's fascinating to see beneath the surface of such a classic image. What secrets does this ghostly view reveal to you? Curator: It's like peering into the soul of the painting, isn’t it? I see a history of revisions, pentimenti whispering tales of the artist's process. There are the halos, looking like cosmic rings. Does it make you wonder about the artist's initial vision versus the final outcome? Editor: Absolutely! It’s like seeing the artist thinking aloud. I guess art is never really finished. Curator: Precisely! This X-ray allows a glimpse into a timeline, layers of intention made visible. I am glad you said that about the concept of being finished. Editor: I never thought an X-ray could be so…expressive. Curator: It’s a reminder that even the most serene images hold a dynamic past within.
