Episode 6 | Pentimenti
Beneath the visible surface, technical imaging revealed changes made during the painting process.
The positions of figures and details were reconsidered as the composition developed. These pentimenti provide evidence of an active creative process and invite comparison with other works, including Rubens’ Phaëton.
This episode examines the hidden changes, what they reveal about the painting’s creation and why pentimenti alone cannot identify the artist.
