Caravaggio and the Baroque to Tiepolo and eighteenth-century VENEZIA.

Among the highlights are:

-- Guercino's powerfully dramatic Blinding of Samson.
-- the largest group of works by Caravaggio outside Rome
-- Canaletto's and Guardi's views of Venice and her lagoons and
-- Panini's dazzling canvases of ancient and modern Rome.
Plus, the greatest collection of works by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo outside VENEZIA.
