     The Washington Post gave it mixed reviews. Paul Richard in Style gave
it a rave. In the Weekend section (tomorrow), I describe it as a
well-mounted retrospective of an artist who started strong but finished
rather weakly because of his excessive infatuation with Caravaggio.

    It's a fascinating show, and besides, any excuse for visiting the
National Gallery is a good one.
