X-radiograph(s) of "Portrait of a Young Man" Possibly 8 - 88

Editor: This is an X-radiograph of Giovanni Ambrogio de Predis's "Portrait of a Young Man," and it’s fascinating to see beneath the surface, but, honestly, kind of spooky. What stories do you think this glimpse into the layers tells? Curator: It reminds me that every portrait holds secrets, literally! The grid, that's our modern technology peeking in. Imagine the artist, centuries ago, layering paint, intention upon intention. What choices did they make and then cover up? We see their hidden decisions! Editor: That’s a wild way to think about it – a conversation across time! Curator: Exactly! And X-rays turn art into a collaboration between then and now. Like detective work, but with more feeling, don't you think? Editor: Definitely something to ponder. Thanks!
