Editor: So this is an X-radiograph of "Mrs. Ebenezer Devotion", by Winthrop Chandler. It’s eerie, seeing her portrait stripped down like this. What can we really learn from it? Curator: It's a peek behind the curtain, isn't it? Think of it as the painting's soul laid bare. You see the artist’s process, where they built up layers and made decisions. Editor: I guess it shows the bones of the painting. It's cool how science and art can come together. Curator: Absolutely! And remember, art’s not just about the finished surface, it’s about the journey to get there. Editor: Definitely gives you a different appreciation. It's like seeing the artist's ghost. Curator: Exactly! A little spooky, a little revealing.
