Editor: We're looking at an x-radiograph of "Benedetto Varchi," by the artist of the original, Jacopo Tintoretto. It's kind of ghostly. What can we learn from it? Curator: It's like seeing beneath the skin, isn't it? Think of it as a secret handshake with the artist. We glimpse their process, the underpainting, pentimenti...happy accidents! It's not just about seeing; it's about sensing the journey of creation, wouldn't you agree? Editor: I suppose I never thought about the painting having its own history, before it was even finished. Curator: Precisely! It reminds us that art is never truly "done," but a continuous evolution, captured in a single, fleeting moment.
