On the left is Vincent VanGogh’s 1885 painting “Head of a Peasant Woman”. On the right is a self- portrait of VanGogh underneath that painting discovered using a variety of art conservators’ tools. This is not uncommon and much more can be learned by an Internet search. This example came from Discover Magazine’s web site.
Here is Paul Cezanne’s painting “Still Life with Bread and Eggs” from Smithsonian Magazine’s web site. The black and white image on the right is a hidden self-portrait of Cezanne under his still life on the left. If viewed sideways the loaf of bread, eggs and cloth easily come into view.
Pretty amazing indeed. Hope you are doing well.
ReplyDeleteThose are amazing - thanks for sharing - ;))
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing they can actually uncover the underneath paintings without any damage to painting on top. I guess I do the same thing, painting over what I don't like. I hope your new week has started off nicely. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteI had read, briefly, that these were being found. I had not seen them yet. Thanks for sharing them.I have painted over things I didn’t like many times. Haha
ReplyDeleteHi Barbara. You asked about all the names on my blog, and yes, that is me. When I was setting up the blog I didn't realize I could reuse names, like for my blog title and also for the blog address. Now, if I change it, it affects my whole blog, so there you go.And my name is Erika, so that's where that comes in. All the names. Sorry for the confusion.
