Curator: Here we have an X-radiograph of "Male Portrait (late)" by Jacobello di Antonello, residing at the Harvard Art Museums. Editor: The skeletal structures create such an eerie and interesting composition. The light and shadows dance across the surface. Curator: Indeed! The stark contrast highlights the underlying structure and layering of the paint. It really emphasizes form, doesn't it? Editor: Absolutely. It's a glimpse into the artist's process, revealing choices and revisions. The way radiographic imaging can reveal hidden histories of the artwork is remarkable. Curator: Quite right. The X-ray medium itself adds a new layer of interpretation, challenging the traditional viewing experience. Editor: It's a testament to the evolving nature of art and the tools we use to understand its cultural significance. I think this image gives us so much to consider.
