X-radiograph(s) of "Baptism of Christ" 

Editor: Here we have an X-radiograph of "Baptism of Christ" by Tintoretto. It's ghostly and reveals hidden layers. What secrets do you think it holds? Curator: It reveals not secrets, but material conditions and the intersection of art and science. How does the radiograph challenge or reinforce traditional art historical narratives around authorship and authenticity? Editor: That's a good point! I hadn't considered that. So it's about questioning the whole history of the work? Curator: Exactly! This isn't just about confirming Tintoretto's hand, but about deconstructing the very idea of a singular artistic genius and the power structures that uphold such narratives. Editor: Fascinating! It really makes you think about how we value art. Curator: Precisely. It prompts us to consider whose stories get told and how.
