X-radiograph(s) of "Allegory-Morte non Timeo (Copy)" 

Editor: This is an X-radiograph of a copy of "Allegory-Morte non Timeo" by Joos van Cleve. It's fascinating to see this skeletal view of the painting. What can we learn from examining the substructure of the artwork? Curator: Indeed. The X-radiograph presents a unique opportunity to analyze the material composition and construction of the panel. Notice the underlying grid structure. Editor: Yes, that’s very prominent. How does that grid impact our understanding of the artist's process? Curator: It reveals the support system beneath the visible surface, potentially illuminating the artist's adherence to or deviation from established techniques. Consider the variations in density. Where might we infer preparatory sketches or underpainting layers? Editor: That's fascinating. I never thought about analyzing a painting in this way. Curator: Precisely! By analyzing structure, we gain insight into the artwork's creation and materiality.
