X-radiograph(s) of "Eleanor of Toledo" 

Curator: This is an X-radiograph of "Eleanor of Toledo," a copy after the original portrait. Juan Bautista Martínez del Mazo is credited as the artist who made the copy. Editor: Whoa, that's like seeing a ghost, the skeleton of a painting. Sort of eerie, but also strangely beautiful, like a cosmic fingerprint. Curator: It allows us to see the underpainting, the artist's initial composition, and any changes they made. The symbols of status and power woven into her garments are now obscured. Editor: I find myself wondering, what's hiding in the shadows beneath the surface? It adds to the mystery. Curator: Yes, It highlights how even seemingly static images hold layers of meaning and hidden processes over time. Editor: It definitely gives you a new appreciation for what goes into creating art. Like peeling back time itself.
