X-radiograph(s) of "Triumph of Eucharist over Ignorance" 

Editor: This is an X-radiograph of "Triumph of Eucharist over Ignorance," by Erasmus Quellinus. It's fascinating to see the under layers of the painting so clearly! What strikes you about the composition in this form? Curator: The stark contrast reveals the artist's process, highlighting the structural elements. Note the density and distribution of lead white, crucial for understanding the luminosity and spatial organization of the original painting. Do you observe any pentimenti? Editor: I think I see some slight adjustments in the drapery, maybe? It's incredible to see the artist's hand at work beneath the surface. I'm gaining a whole new appreciation for the layers that constitute a painting. Curator: Indeed, it prompts us to consider the materiality and the evolution of the artwork, and how the formal elements interact even when invisible to the naked eye.
