Editor: So, this is an X-radiograph of "Madonna and Saints," originally by Domenico Puligo. It's a peek behind the curtain, isn’t it? It looks like a strange, ghostly grid! What secrets does this reveal to you? Curator: Ah, yes! It’s like looking at the bones of a painting. We see the wood panel construction – clever craftsmen! – and maybe even the artist’s process, pentimenti, layers, ghosts of earlier ideas. Does it make you think about time, about the hidden stories beneath surfaces? Editor: It does! I never considered the painting’s skeleton before. Curator: Precisely! Art isn’t just what we see; it's a history, a conversation between artist and material, revealed by science’s curious gaze. Who knew an x-ray could feel so…intimate? Editor: I agree, I will never look at the painting the same way again!
