The Beach at Trouville — An infrared composite (created using 225 individual infrared images) revealed that Monet had ...originally planned to paint a seascape, considerably larger in scale. His view was directed toward the sea, and he sketched in large sailboats at the center foreground, with more boats in the distance to the left and the right.
Vincent van Gogh was born on March 30, 1853. His Self-Portrait, 1887 was first X-rayed in 1990, and showed a number of anomalous brush strokes hidden beneath the paint layer that did not correspond to the portrait. When the X-ray was inverted, it became clear that there was an image underneath of a woman wearing a Dutch peasant cap, seated behind a spinning wheel.
