X-radiograph(s) of "Praying Monk (st. Dominic)" 

Editor: This is an X-radiograph of "Praying Monk (St. Dominic)," by El Greco. It feels like looking at a ghost! What can you tell me about what we're seeing here? Curator: It's a peek behind the curtain, isn’t it? We see El Greco's process, the way he built up the image, layer by layer. It almost feels like witnessing a whispered prayer itself, materializing from thin air. What do you make of the ghostly figure? Editor: It’s like seeing the bones of the painting. I hadn’t thought about the layers before! I think I will remember this the next time I look at a painting. Curator: Exactly! Now you're seeing with X-ray vision! It's a reminder that even the most ethereal images have a physical foundation, a history embedded in their very being.
