X-radiograph(s) of "Miracle of St. Zenobius" 

Curator: This is an X-radiograph of "Miracle of St. Zenobius" by the artist Benozzo Gozzoli, housed right here at the Harvard Art Museums. Editor: It feels like a ghostly echo, doesn't it? Layers beneath layers, a shadow of the original vibrant narrative. Curator: Exactly. What strikes me is how this image reveals the artist's process, the underlying structure and changes made. It makes you think about what’s hidden in most art. Editor: Absolutely. It's a reminder that every image, especially one depicting a religious miracle, carries the weight of cultural history. What power structures are at play here? Curator: It shows us the bones beneath the skin, the artist's struggle to bring the miracle to life. Editor: And the cultural narratives that underpin it all. Food for thought, indeed.
