X-radiograph(s) of "St Dominic" 30-Jan-00

Editor: This is an X-radiograph of "St Dominic" by Guido da Siena. It's fascinating to see the inner structure revealed. The contrast between the black void and the skeletal form is striking. What can you tell me about its composition? Curator: The stark contrast accentuates the geometric structure. Note the diagonal thrust of the main form against the void, creating a dynamic tension. What do you observe about the surface texture revealed by the radiograph? Editor: It seems layered and uneven, like palimpsest. Are these textures intentional, or just evidence of age? Curator: Both perhaps. The artist's technique, combined with the aging process, contributes to the overall effect. How does this X-ray medium alter your perception of the original artwork? Editor: It pulls back the curtain, revealing the hidden architecture of the piece. I see new levels of complexity. Curator: Precisely. The materiality speaks volumes, offering a unique lens to understand form and structure.
