When I did, I ordered a small plate of cabrit (goat in sauce, $6.50) without even glancing at the menu. My companion choose tasso boeuf (beef marinated and cooked under a low flame, $6.50), and we both opted for a side order of fried plantains ($2.00). The meal began with a skimpy and unexciting salad: iceberg lettuce, shredded carrot and green pepper, served with honey mustard dressing.

...allegory. His big religious paintings, mostly for Flemish churches, are bravura performances, but none of them have the trumpeting conviction or the sheer inventiveness of Rubens'. His best paintings were his portraits and his secular allegories, like Rinaldo and Armida, 1629, done under the spell of Titian. Taken from Tasso's epic poem Jerusalem Delivered, a great favorite at Charles' court, it illustrates the moment when the sorceress Armida falls in love with the wandering Christian knight Rinaldo on glimpsing his sleeping face. The sensuous color, the glow of flesh and even the eyeline of the scene -- shot...
