X-radiograph(s) of "Jester" 

Curator: Here we have an X-radiograph of "Jester," attributed to Corneille de Lyon, held in the collection of the Harvard Art Museums. Editor: Woah, it’s like seeing a ghost of a painting! Very eerie, almost like a forgotten memory. It makes you wonder what secrets lie beneath the surface. Curator: Indeed! X-radiography allows us to peek behind the visible layers, revealing the artist's process and any alterations made during the painting's creation. The "Jester" likely held a specific cultural position, perhaps providing social commentary through humor. Editor: I get that. It’s like the painting is whispering stories to us from beyond, distorted and obscured, yet still present. A fascinating peek behind the curtain. Curator: Precisely, it's a glimpse into the history, a unique perspective on artistic intention. Editor: It gives a completely fresh and almost haunting take on art analysis. It’s like archaeology, but for paintings.
