X-radiograph(s) of "Christ in the Mount" 

Editor: This is an X-radiograph of "Christ in the Mount," by Bartholomäus Zeitblom. It's an eerie, fragmented view. What secrets do you think this peek beneath the surface reveals? Curator: It's like archaeology of the artistic process, isn't it? The radiograph lays bare the artist’s hand, the pentimenti—those ghostly revisions, a silent conversation between intention and execution. Do you see the halo, how it shimmers even in this stark view? Editor: Yes, it's quite striking. It makes me wonder about the artist's choices. Curator: Exactly! It's a reminder that every artwork is a palimpsest, layered with choices, erasures, and revisions. This radiograph invites us to contemplate the hidden dialogues within a work of art. Editor: I never thought about it that way. So much more than just what you see on the surface. Curator: Precisely. Sometimes the unseen is just as profound, if not more so.
