毕加索《蓝色房间》暗藏男子肖像
Scientists and art experts have found a hidden painting beneath one of Pablo Picasso's first masterpieces, 'The Blue Room.' They have used infrared imagery to reveal a man wearing a bow tie, with his face resting on his hand.
Scholars are investigating who the man might be and why Picasso painted him. They have ruled out the possibility that it was a self-portrait.
In 2008, improved infrared imagery revealed for the first time a man's bearded face resting on his hand, with three rings on his fingers. It is a mystery that is fueling new research about the 1901 painting, created while Picasso was working in Paris at the start of his distinctive blue period of melancholy subjects, which came early in his career.
Curators and conservators revealed their findings for the first time last week. Hidden pictures have been found under other important Picasso paintings in the past.
