Pietro Annigoni

Annigoni - who died in Florence in 1988 - is probably best known for his celebrity portraits, including those of the British Royals. Time magazine even featured his paintings on seven covers. In its determination to uphold the great traditions of the Renaissance, his work has resisted 20th-century trends. On show in this exhibition are some 150 works - many on loan form private collections - including the 1956 portrait of Princess Margaret, known as 'The Good Samaritan'.

With the alfresco dining season comes the opening of one of Chicago's best-kept secrets. Completely hidden behind this River West restaurant is one of the city's largest gardens with 150 seats. An ivy-covered wall surrounds a romantically-lit leafy patio full of sycamore, beech, birch, and holly. Talented chef John Bubala's food matches the setting, with spit-roasted meats a speciality. Start with superb crab cakes and move onto wild striped bass or beef tenderloin tails with horseradish potatoes.
