X-radiograph(s) of "Don Ignacio Romura" 

Curator: Here we have an X-radiograph of "Don Ignacio Romura," originally painted by Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes. Editor: Wow, it looks like a ghostly portrait, all these layers of gray. The x-ray reveals a hidden depth, almost like peering into the soul. Curator: Indeed, the x-radiograph offers a unique perspective. It prompts us to consider what lies beneath the surface, not just of the painting itself, but also of the sitter's identity. What does it mean to expose the unseen? Editor: It's unsettling, really. Like a secret revealed without permission. Makes you wonder about Goya’s intentions, and about Romura's secrets too! Curator: This x-ray reminds us that art, even in its most representational forms, involves complex layers of history, power, and the ever-present tension between visibility and invisibility. Editor: It’s more than just a technical image; it’s a glimpse into a past existence, a reminder of our own fleeting presence.
