FINCH COLLEGE MUSEUM OF ART-62 East 78th St. Forty Venetian paintings of the 16th century, including works by Titian, Tintoretto, Bassano and Veronese. Among the Titians: a frieze painted between 1560 and 1569 to decorate his own home. Through...
...Tozzi gave him an excellent opening night and Sutherland's Sonnambula won love-letter reviews. There was a sparkling new production of The Barber of Seville, and a Mefistofele in which dancers and chorus kindled each other to spectacular performances on sets that sometimes looked like paintings by Tintoretto. San Francisco was seeing some of the best-produced opera the American season can expect...
Great are the master painters produced by Venice, but none of them, neither Titian nor Tintoretto, Giorgione nor even Francesco Guardi, to judge from their work, took so much delight in the sights and sounds of that city as did Vittore Carpaccio.

...years ago that Director Otto Karl Bach started his search for a painting that would fit in with his tiny cluster of top treasures, ranging from a Veronese and a Tintoretto to a Degas and a Renoir. He was not necessarily looking for a big name, but at the Wildenstein Gallery in Manhattan he happened to spot the Rembrandt in its marvelously fussy 17th century frame. The price for the painting was $95,000, but the gallery was willing to sell it on the installment plan. By last week the museum had collected from private gifts two-thirds...
