VENICE, a city that dreams much of the past, has staged six retrospective exhibitions of her long dead masters since 1935. Having already shown off her greatest-Bellini, Titian and Tintoretto-Venice this summer is doing homage to a lesser genius: Lorenzo Lotto. The city has gathered 121 Lottos from such faraway places as Stockholm and New York, hung them in a 16-room suite of the Doges' Palace.

This week New Orleans will unveil its Kress gift: 31 paintings, spanning four centuries, from the Renaissance's 14th century dawn to the last flowering in the 18th century, and including such greats as Tintoretto, Bellini, Veronese.

...history: Egyptian art back to 3,000 B.C., a richly-tooled gold funeral wreath from ancient Greece, a Chinese urn from the Han dynasty, a fine green glaze beaker from the 15th century Persia. In painting, Chillman stuck to such safe and sure old masters as Fra Angelico Bellini, Rembrandt, such French impressionists as Cézanne and Renoir, and a gallery of popular Americans from John Singer Sargent to Cowboy Artists Frederic Remington...
