In the 1840s, a new painting by Jean Francois Millet was unveiled in Paris.
19世紀40年代，米勒的一幅新作在巴黎展出。
But, horror of horrors, no one seemed to like it!
但可怕的是，似乎沒人喜歡這幅作品！
Some critics thought the images were too violent; others thought the paint was applied too thickly.
一些評論家認為畫面太暴力了；其他人則認為顏料涂得過于厚重。
After that, the painting simply disappeared, and everyone assumed Millet had destroyed it.
從那以后，這幅畫就消失了，外界都猜測米勒銷毀了這幅作品。
Now fast forward to 1983. Using X-ray technology, art restorers were examining another Millet painting, a portrait called The Young Shepherdess.
現在，讓我們快進到1983年。藝術修繕家正利用X射線技術檢測米勒的另一幅作品——“牧羊女”肖像畫。
The X-ray film revealed a ghostly outline of a second painting completely concealed by the portrait.
X射線膠片上出現了另一幅畫作的輪廓，它完全隱藏在肖像畫中。
And–you guessed it–this hidden painting was the very one that had sparked such controversy 150 years before.
可能你已經猜到了，這幅隱藏的畫就是150年前頗具爭議的那幅作品。
X-ray technology not only can help art historians find long lost paintings, but also see fascinating revisions painters have made.
X射線技術不僅可以幫助藝術歷史學家尋找遺失已久的畫作，還可以重現藝術家所做的絕妙修改。
