Several of you got it already- for his birthday, here is the Virgin & Child with the Infant St John by Rubens, the only painting of his in Venice. The central section on paper is by Rubens, with a background filled in later. It is in the wonderful church of Santa Maria del Giglio

The Wise and Foolish Virgins - Tintoretto, from the Museum Boijmans in the Netherlands (currently closed). The biblical story is a parable about how you need to be prepared, or else you won't get to go to the party...

St Sebastian reproving Diocletian, from the church of San Sebastiano. Did you know the famous arrows didn’t kill Sebastian? He was rescued by St Irene. Soon after his recovery he went to Diocletian to warn him about his sins, and as a result was clubbed to death. Oof!

Not cherubs at all! Sorry- the archer I mentioned painted by Veronese in San Sebastiano firing his arrow across the body of the church to the opposite wall, at St. Sebastian, who is tied to a column is decidedly human!

Palma Giovane‘s depiction of the musical contest between Apollo and Marsyas in the presence of Midas, the king of Lydia. The central character is Apollo, dressed in a red robe with his laurel-garlanded head bent over the violin.

Conversion of San Pantaleon, Veronese’s last ever work!

Tintoretto’s ‘Summer’ - part of his 500th birthday celebrations at the National Museum in Washington DC. Summer is represented as Ceres, goddess of agriculture, reclining in front of her attribute, a row of wheat stalks. Inspired by Vasari!

Venus and Adonis, by Titian, in the Prado in Madrid. Titian painted several versions of this myhtology - this is thought to be the earliest surviving version. Sensuous!
