X-radiograph(s) of "Coronation of Virgin" 

Editor: This is an X-radiograph of "Coronation of the Virgin" by Sano di Pietro. It's fascinating to see the layers beneath the surface, like uncovering hidden stories. What symbolic weight do you see in this image? Curator: The X-ray reveals more than just pigment; it exposes cultural memory. Notice how the halos persist, even through the X-ray. They're potent symbols of divinity, but also continuity, reminding us how certain visual languages endure. Editor: So, the persistence of these symbols reinforces their lasting power? Curator: Precisely. The X-ray, in a way, becomes a modern palimpsest, revealing how the "Coronation" narrative continues to resonate, transformed yet unbroken. What does that say about us? Editor: I never thought about an X-ray revealing such layered meanings. Thank you! Curator: My pleasure. It's a reminder that even the most technical images are laden with cultural echoes.
