X-radiograph(s) of "Arrival of the Magi" 

Editor: Here we have an x-radiograph of Hieronymus Bosch's "Arrival of the Magi" from the Harvard Art Museums. It’s fascinating to see beneath the surface. What do you see in this ghostly version of the painting? Curator: For me, it's like peering into the artist's mind, a hidden layer. The x-ray reveals the underdrawing and changes Bosch made, a kind of dialogue with his own creation. It's a beautiful metaphor for how we all evolve, isn't it? Editor: That’s so interesting, a dialogue with creation. I hadn't thought about it that way. Curator: Absolutely. It reminds us that art, like life, is a process of layering, revision, and ultimately, revelation.
