It is amazing to "see" the thought process of the artist come alive through infrared reflectography. Technology allows us to "see" the reality...artists sometimes recycled canvasses and artists changed their minds while working on a composition.
Art teachers always tell students that THERE ARE NO MISTAKES IN ART. Technology shows that adage is true. Even great masters worked and reworked their compositions until they were satisfied!
Current technology unravels for us the mysteries of art created before our time. One can only imagine where future technological breakthroughs will take the art world!
