X-radiograph(s) of "Christ taken to Prison (copy)" 

Editor: This is an X-radiograph of "Christ Taken to Prison," a copy of a work by Martin Schongauer. The image is quite ghostly. What strikes you about its composition and structure? Curator: The X-radiograph technique unveils layers, not just of paint but of artistic process. Note the stark contrast, the dynamic interplay of light and shadow. How does this radiographic perspective alter your understanding of the original artist's intent, do you think? Editor: It's like seeing the bones beneath the skin of the painting! Very revealing. Curator: Precisely. The linear elements, the orthogonal grid of the X-ray, impose a structure, almost a constraint, upon the figures. Editor: It’s certainly a unique way to look at an artwork! Curator: Indeed; reframing our perception, highlighting structure over surface, and process over final product.
