In 1974, Hungarian architect Erno Rubik was searching for a tool to encourage his students to think about geometry, movement and the transformation of an object in space and time. His solution became the Rubik's Cube, a toy seemingly designed to delight and frustrate in equal measure. Today, in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the invention of the Rubik's Cube, we turn our attention to the world of toys and games. From the simple playthings of childhood to intricate mind-boggling   puzzles, toys serve both as entertainment and as tools for exploration and learning. This selection of four toys and games spanning centuries and continents is part of our 'Four things to see' series, which offers you a new way in to some of the world's greatest collections, sponsored by Bloomberg Connects: the free arts and culture app.

The art of the Venetian School of the Italian Renaissance, which evolved from the work of Giovanni and Gentile Bellini and flourished through luminaries such as Giorgione, Titian, Veronese and Tintoretto, is renowned and beloved for its use of colour. Artists of the School used vibrant hues to capture the atmosphere and emotional depth of the scenes they were painting. They are also known for their use of naturalistic light, which stood in contrast to styles that prevailed elsewhere in Italy at the time. Tintoretto was renowned for his distinctive style, which combined drama, energetic brushwork and vibrant colour. As Friday marked the anniversary of his death in 1594, it's an opportune time to explore the allure and enduring legacy of the Venetian artistic tradition through four works of art. This is part of our 'Four things to see' series, which offers you a new way in to some of the world's greatest collections, sponsored by Bloomberg Connects: the free arts and culture app.
