”Venus with an Organist and a Dog,” detail, by Tiziano Vecellio, circa 1550, on loan from the Prado and currently on view at the Met. Roberta Smith writes: "The very title “Art and Love in Renaissance Italy” is a win-win. It promises romance, desire, youthful beauty, expensive gift items and possible sex in the land of Romeo and Juliet. It delivers on all counts."
