X-radiograph(s) of "Ecce Homo" 

Editor: So, this is an X-radiograph of "Ecce Homo", by a follower of Jacopo Bassano the Elder, housed at the Harvard Art Museums. It feels almost ghostly, a peek behind the curtain. What secrets do you think this X-ray reveals? Curator: It's a bit like archaeology, isn't it? We see the artist's process, the underpainting, corrections… Maybe a pentimento or two, a change of heart immortalized in lead white. It whispers of the creative struggle, the hidden layers beneath the surface. What do *you* think it tells us about the artist? Editor: That they weren't afraid to experiment, maybe? It definitely makes me appreciate the finished piece even more, knowing the journey it took.
