Editor: This is an X-radiograph of "Tobit and his Wife," a copy of a painting by Gerhard Dou. Seeing it this way, stripped bare, it feels incredibly vulnerable. What symbols do you see revealed in this hidden view? Curator: The x-ray reveals more than just the materials; it shows the artist’s hand, the underlayers of thought and revision. Consider the story of Tobit, a tale of blindness and faith. Does this ghostly image evoke a similar sense of obscured vision and underlying belief? Editor: I see how it highlights the themes of the original painting in an unexpected way. Thanks for that insight! Curator: The image rewards close looking and invites us to consider what lies beneath the surface.
