Article Synopsis
- Two advanced techniques, X-ray radiography and macroscopic X-ray fluorescence (MA-XRF), were used to investigate the hidden layers in René Magritte's 1935 painting "Le portrait."
- X-ray radiography uncovered an underlying composition from an earlier work, revealing a figurative painting featuring two nude female figures, while MA-XRF offered insights into the chemical elements in the pigments used.
- Additionally, hyperspectral imaging was applied to examine layers in specific sections, such as the tablecloth, showcasing how these methods collectively enhance the understanding of an artwork's materials and hidden details.
