The editorial published on the website of Fox News,
on January 28, 2013 is headlined “Nearly 400-year-old secret painting in Rembrandtmasterpiece revealed’’. The author (Megan Gannon) gives us some details about works of
Dutch painter Rembrant Harmenszoon van Rijn. The article touches upon the
fact that the
masterpiece "Old Man in Military Costume" bears faint traces of
another portrait beneath its surface.
It was revealed that new studies
with more sophisticated X-ray techniques that can parse through the painting's
layers give art historians hope that they may finally get to see who is
depicted in the secret image.
The article carries a
lot of comment on the fact that experiments demonstrate a possibility of how to
reveal much of the hidden picture. Scientists used macro X-ray fluorescence
analysis to examine a mock-up of Rembrandt's original, created by museum intern
Andrea Sartorius, who used paints with the same chemical composition as those
used by the Dutch master. Sartorius painted one portrait on the canvas and then
an imitation of "Old Man in Military Costume" on top.
The main purpose of
the article is to give the reader some information about the results of these studies that enable scientists
determine the best possible approach to employ in their planned upcoming study
of the real Rembrandt painting.
Analyzing the
situation it is necessary to emphasize that this isn't the first time
scientists have delved into Rembrandt's paintings. Previous research revealed
why his art possesses such calming beauty, finding the artist may have
pioneered a technique that guides the viewer's gaze around a portrait, creating
a special narrative and "calmer" viewing experience. Essentially, the
researchers found Rembrandt painted more detail in and around the eyes of his
subjects, tapping into an innate human attraction to the face.
The structure is very good!
