DORSET, UK – A hidden painting by Jacopo Tintoretto,
the last of the three great Venetian Renaissance painters, has gone on
public
display for the first time and can be seen at Kingston Lacy  17th-century
house  in
Dorset. The painting has spent most of the last 30 years in storage but,

following a major programme of cleaning and restoration, “Apollo (or
Hymen)
Crowning a Poet and Giving Him a Spouse” can be seen at last.
