X-radiograph(s) of "Singing Boys" 

Editor: This is an X-radiograph of "Singing Boys," after Frans Hals. It’s a peek beneath the surface of a painting, like an art world secret! I am curious, what can an X-ray tell us about the creation of a painting? Curator: Oh, the secrets they hold! It shows us the artist’s process, almost like reading their mind. You can see underdrawings, changes in composition, the ghost of ideas that never fully materialized, revealing the evolution of the artwork—a true glimpse into the artist's soul. Fascinating, isn't it? Editor: It really is. Curator: It makes you wonder about all the layers of thought and intention that go into a single brushstroke. Editor: Definitely gives a new appreciation for the creative process.
