毕加索《蓝色房间》下发现一隐藏画作 A hidden painting has been found by scientists beneath the brush strokes of The Blue Room, a 1901 Picasso artwork. 人们在毕加索1901年画作《蓝色房间》下发现一隐藏画作。 Art experts and conservators at The Phillips Collection in Washington used infrared technology on the masterpiece, revealing a bow-tied man with his face resting on his hand. Picasso created both works in Paris during his famous blue period. "It's really one of those moments that really makes what you do special," said conservator Patricia Favero. Acknowledged as one of the 20th Century's greatest artists, Pablo Picasso focused on monochromatic（单色的） paintings in shades of blue and blue-green during his blue period from 1900 to 1904. The Blue Room has been the subject of exploration since 2008 by experts from the Phillips Collection, National Gallery of Art, Cornell University and Delaware's Winterthur Museum. Improved infrared imagery allowed them to see a man wearing a jacket and bow tie, resting his bearded face on his hand with three rings on his fingers. When the image was turned on its side, it revealed a portrait of a man. Technical analysis confirmed the hidden portrait was likely to have been painted just before The Blue Room. Favero added that, having found the second image back in 2008, they then wanted to know who the man was. |
