X-radiograph(s) of "Raising of Lazarus" 

Editor: This is an x-radiograph of the "Raising of Lazarus," by Albert van Ouwater. It gives a ghostly view of the painting beneath. What strikes me is how technical this image is, yet it still evokes a sense of the spiritual narrative. What do you see in this piece? Curator: This radiograph allows us to analyze the social and political implications embedded within the original painting's creation. How does seeing the under layers change our perception of the artist’s intent, his choices, and the power dynamics at play in depicting such a charged religious scene? Editor: So, it’s less about the miracle itself, and more about the context of depicting it? Curator: Precisely. It encourages us to question whose stories get told, how they’re told, and who benefits from their representation. Seeing beneath the surface reveals the layers of meaning. Editor: I see, this really changes my understanding of the artwork!
