X-radiograph(s) of "Bust of Christ" c. 14 - 18

Editor: This is an X-radiograph of "Bust of Christ" after Rembrandt. It's quite abstract. What can you tell me about it? Curator: Well, the X-radiograph gives us a peek beneath the surface. It reveals not just the image, but also the process, the layers of creation and potentially, alteration. What does it say about our understanding of authorship and authenticity when technology exposes these hidden aspects? Editor: That's fascinating! It makes me consider the value we place on originality. Curator: Precisely! Is the essence of art only in the final image, or does the process itself hold equal significance in our interpretation? Editor: I never thought about art in this way. Thanks for your insights. Curator: My pleasure. It challenges our preconceived notions of art and its creation.
