Israeli museum curators, using X-rays, found three sketches by 20th-century artist Amedeo Modigliani beneath the surface of one of his paintings. The unfinished works came to light under “Nude with a Hat” at Haifa University’s Hecht Museum. By ibenzion.
The high demand for authentic Modigliani works has generated a thriving market for fakes and forgeries.
In 2010, the museum’s curator noticed the eyes of a third figure peeking from beneath Abrantes’ collar. But only this year was the hidden image brought into focus. The canvas is now known to contain five of his paintings, likely painted one atop the other out of necessity to save money on new canvases. X-ray photography and other noninvasive technologies have found hidden works by other artists such as Degas and Rembrandt.Berkowits called the artwork “a sketchbook on a canvas,” showing Modigliani’s repeated tries and “never-ending search for artistic expression.” She said there is “no doubt at all” that the painting is authentic.
