The greatest existing collection of Venetian art is housed in the three buildings of the Gallerie
dell’Accademia and features five centuries of masterpieces. Founded by Giambattista Piazzetta in
the 18th century, the collection was greatly enlarged by Napoleon, who transferred a large number
of works from the convents and churches he himself had suppressed.
Among the numberless works of art, you should not miss the Legend of St. Ursula, by Vittore
Carpaccio, a cycle of eight magnificent paintings dating from the late 16th c., the Coronation of the
Virgin, a bright polyptych painted in 1325 by Paolo Veneziano, considered the very founder of the
Venetian school, and the enigmatic Tempest by Giorgione, a painting in which the innovative use of
the landscape influenced all the art of the following centuries.
Many other paintings are worth a stop: you will view works by the three Bellinis (Jacopo, Gentile,
and Giovanni), Andrea Mantegna, Lorenzo Lotto, Paolo Veronese, Jacopo Tintoretto, and Tiepolo.
Departure time: 9.00
Meeting point: Registration Desk in the Secretariat Area.
