X-radiograph(s) of "Annunciation, Nativity, Crucifixion and Entombment" 

Editor: This is an x-radiograph of "Annunciation, Nativity, Crucifixion and Entombment" by Silvestro dei Gherarducci. It's fascinating to see the layers beneath the surface. What strikes you most about this unseen perspective? Curator: The x-radiograph exposes the hidden infrastructure, questioning what is deemed visible and valuable. Religious art, often a tool of power, is here stripped bare. How does this process of revealing the underlayers shift our understanding of the artwork's original intent and impact? Editor: That's a really interesting point; I hadn't thought about it that way. Curator: Consider how the artist's choices reflect the societal norms of their time, and how the radiographic lens challenges those norms today. Editor: It’s amazing how much more there is to consider beyond the surface appearance. Curator: Exactly, art serves as both a reflection and a critique.
