A Hidden Picasso: Will Shank always suspected something was buried beneath Picasso's
Scène de Rue, a somber street scene painted by Picasso in the fall of 1900 during his first stay in Paris. X-rays revealed a second painting: a nightclub scene which appeared to be the prototype for Picasso's
Le Moulin de la Galette, a 1900 painting thought to be the first Picasso made in Paris. Technicians extracted the colors visible through the cracks in the surface of
Scène de Rue and transferred them onto a black-and-white radiograph.
