Trash or not, reality television is the diabolical gift that keeps giving. Every time Netflix releases a new series starring hot-and-bothered singles looking for love or lust, we moan and grumble online—only to have it sit pretty in the “Most Watched” list for weeks.

The mysterious gaze behind an iconic 17th-century portrait of a fair-skinned Black man has consistently stumped art enthusiasts.
