X-radiograph(s) of "Sacraments Altar" 

Editor: This is an X-radiograph of the "Sacraments Altar" by Rogier van der Weyden. It's like seeing through the painting! The wooden support structure is so clear. What does an X-ray reveal to you about this piece? Curator: It's a ghost of the original, isn't it? A peek behind the curtain. I see not just the structure, but the artist's process – pentimenti, alterations hidden to the naked eye. It's like a conversation with Van der Weyden across time! Do you notice how the figures seem to float in and out of existence? Editor: Yes, the figures look like they are emerging from the wood! I never thought about X-rays as a way to connect with an artist. Curator: Exactly! Art isn't just what's on the surface, but the journey it took to get there.
