The Kurto Institute in London made a sensational discovery, finding a hidden portrait of an unknown woman under the famous picture of Pablo Picasso "Portrait of Mateu Fernandez de Soto" (1901). Scientists used an infrared camera and X -ray scanning to research this work, and the result was amazed.
Picasso, who depicted on his picture of the Spanish sculptor Mateu Fernandez de Soto, used another woman as a basis for her drawings. Researchers have found that under the famous portrait there is an image of a woman who could have been written before the artist began to create a portrait de soto.
A woman on a hidden portrait has a hairstyle of hairpiece, popular with Parisians of that time. It resembles several other women who Picasso portrayed the same year in paintings such as Absinthe Lover and a Woman with Hands Crossed.
Deputy Director of the Kurto Gallery, Barnabi Wright, noted that scientists have long suspected the presence of another picture under the portrait of Mateu Fernandez de Stoto, since traces of paint and textured features were found on the surface of the painting, which indicated the existence of another image. With the help of the latest technologies, researchers were able to clearly distinguish the outlines of the female portrait, and now this discovery is important for the study of Picasso's work.
Experts hope that further research can help reveal more information about the depicted woman, although they do not exclude that her personality may remain a mystery. This discovery adds a new dimension to understanding Picasso's work and its methods of work.
