Venetian finds

Venice wasn't sinking in the 16th century. The thriving, wealthy, cosmopolitan city was soaking up international commerce and a prosperous art market. This colorful world is yours for the soaking at the Museum of Fine Arts exhibit "Titian, Tintoretto, Veronese: Rivals in Renaissance Venice." The 56 works on loan from museums and Venetian churches are explored in seven sections, including "The Transformation of Venetian Painting Around 1500," "The Three Protagonists," "Sacred Themes," "Mythology and the Female Nude," and "Portraiture." Today from 10 a.m.-4:45 p.m. (through Aug. 16). Ticketed admission at half-hour intervals is $25, $23 students and seniors, $9.50 ages 7-17 (advance reservations recommended).
