...mass audience may have noticed this tall, titian-haired actress ornamenting some of the more ambitious mainstream films. In 2000, Swinton was the boss of a hippie commune who badgers Leonardo DiCaprio in The Beach. Later she played a studio executive opposite Nicolas Cage in Adaptation and tried to explain the plot of Vanilla Sky to Tom Cruise. Fantasy fans remember her as the icy White Witch of the Narnia films and as the soaring, fallen Angel Gabriel tempting Keanu Reeves in Constantine. Recently, and notably, Swinton has had on-screen affairs with Brad Pitt (The Curious Case of Benjamin...

...last painting in the Boston show is a very somber self-portrait by the 70-year-old Tintoretto. It was painted around 1588, a dozen years after Titian's death and close to the time of Veronese's (he was abruptly claimed by pneumonia at age 60). The graybeard artist with sunken eyes stares out at us from a deep pool of shadow. He's the last man standing, indisputably now the greatest living artist in Venice. The great game is over - and he looks like he misses...
...eldest of 22 children (his father must have been busy with more than staining wool) and is one of three Olympian daubers of color on canvas whose works fill the superb exhibit of 16th century Venetian painting at the Museum of Fine Arts. This show, “Titian, Tintoretto, Veronese: Rivals in Renaissance Venice,” on view through August 16, brings together with rare serendipity an embarrassment of stunning paintings on loan from museums around the world.
