Editor: So, this is an X-radiograph of "Hendrijke," originally by Rembrandt. It's basically an x-ray of a painting! It’s ghostly, like looking into the past. What do you make of it? Curator: It's like seeing the bones beneath the skin of a masterpiece. The X-radiograph reveals the artist’s process: pentimenti, the changes they made along the way. It hints at the hidden layers of creativity. Does it feel more scientific or artistic to you? Editor: It's both! A peek behind the curtain, adding another layer to the story. Curator: Exactly! It reminds me that art is never truly finished, just abandoned. What a thought!
