Eileen TravellToday, we think of Renaissance portraiture as paintings on canvas or church walls, viewed openly. But an exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, “Hidden Faces: Covered Portraits of the Renaissance,” reveals how many works of art from the period were deliberately covered by painted panels or shutters, or contained additional compositions on their reverse side. “These multisided and covered portraits have never been the subject of an exhibition before,” said the show’s curator, Alison Manges Nogueira, in a video call with CNN. On the reverse of this portrait, the artist Hans Memling painted one of the first independent still lifes, according to the exhibition. Museo Nacional Thyssen-BornemiszaThe exhibition includes works by Albrecht Dürer, Titian and Hans Holbein.

☆ I had lunch at the oldest café in Venice. It dates back to the 1700s, has become a tourist hot spot — and wasn't worth the high bill.

I could see why the café remained so popular, even 300 years later — its picturesque interior was perfect for photos. Marielle Descalsota/Business InsiderDespite my hesitation, a few seconds later, a waiter — dressed in the café's signature white coat and bow tie — invited me inside. Near the entrance, dozens of tourists crowded the café's storefront, perusing the many trinkets on offer — from Florian-branded perfumes to brightly colored leather bags. I sat at the corner of the café, at one of the dozen small, rickety tables. A waiter approached me after five minutes to promptly take my order before rushing over to a family of seven.

One of the most important cultural events in Madrid in recent years was the public opening, just before the pandemic, of a collection that had been sitting behind the closed doors of a private palace for about 200 years. The Palacio de Liria, the grand 18th-century home of the Alba family — among Spain’s (and Europe’s) oldest and most storied aristocratic families — is set in a tranquil garden just steps from the bustling Plaza de España in central Madrid. Often compared to the Prado Museum and the Royal Palace of Madrid for the masterpieces it contains and the noble residents who lived there, the house is filled with works by Titian, Rubens, Velázquez, Goya and other artists favored by the Spanish court. There are also vast literary and historic archives, as well as letters written from the Americas by the explorers Columbus, Pizarro and Cortés. Here is a tour of those three sumptuous palaces, along with a stop in the small town of Alba de Tormes.

☆ Yushi Li’s dream-like photo challenges notions of the male gaze
▼ + stars: | 2023-08-04 | by ( Stephy Chung | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +5 min

Despite Chinese photographer Yushi Li’s gentle staging, her title for the photograph, “The Smothering Dream,” suggests something more sinister is at play. Although a canon of male nudes does exist, it largely comprises images shot by gay male photographers. When Li began the series in 2017, she noticed a lack of images depicting naked men as objects of desire from a woman’s perspective. She brings these ideas into “Paintings, Dreams and Love,” an ongoing project to which “The Smothering Dream” belongs. “There’s also the gaze from the algorithm, and the gaze from the screen that reflects yourself when you look at it… the internet (means) we’re subjected to the gaze more, in a way.”

Venice is so congested that it has become the embodiment of overtourism. Yet visiting Venice doesn’t always require taking what Italians call “un bagno di folla” — a bath in the crowd. The city offers plenty of fascinating attractions spared from the congestion, in fact, some of them could use more visitors. Here are some ways travelers can minimize the inconveniences even while visiting the most popular sites. “It’s not crowded, and there’s so much to enjoy,” said Cinzia Trevisan, co-founder of Venice Guides for Sustainable Tourism.

☆ 2023 Lamborghini Urus Performante: Super-Sport Thrills That Aren’t So Cheap
▼ + stars: | 2023-03-03 | by ( Dan Neil | ) www.wsj.com time to read: 1 min

RAGING BULL Lamborghini has traditionally named its sports cars after famous fighting bulls, such as Gallardo, Aventador and Islero. For its first SUV of the modern era, the company chose Urus, a now-extinct species of wild bull. IT’S FUNNY the things you think of when you’re going like a bat out of hell in a red Lamborghini. The French painter William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1825-1905) was among the most celebrated pornographers of the 19th century. Trained in the French academic style, Bouguereau’s brushwork and powers of composition rivaled that of Italian masters Raphael and Titian.
