X-radiograph(s) of "Night Landscape" Possibly 1 - 72

Editor: This is an X-radiograph of Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot’s "Night Landscape." It’s essentially a ghostly view of the materials. What can this tell us about Corot’s process? Curator: Fascinating! The radiograph reveals the labor involved, the layering and density of the materials used to create the landscape. What does this suggest about Corot's engagement with the physical act of painting, the sheer materiality of his art? Editor: So it is not just about the final image, but all the steps involved in making it, interesting. Thanks! Curator: Exactly. Thinking about the means of production, not just the end product. It's about the journey of creation.
