Venice Academy Galleries

The Academy Galleries treasure an important collection of Venetian patinings from XIV° to XVIII° century, including masterpieces of the most famous masters like Bellini, Giorgione, Carpaccio, Tiziano, Tintoretto, Veronese and Tiepolo.

After the suppression of religious congregations and public Venetian magistratures, an enormous quantity of art works was confiscated. A selection of masterpieces was sent to the seat of the central power in Paris to be shown in the Louvre Museum.

The link between the Academy Galleries and Venice is very deep: rooms keep many works from churches, schools and public magistratures that help the public understand the solutions created by painters for a specific destination and meaning of paintings. Some of the works shown here are the only testimony remained from churches destroyed in the Napoleonic period. Thanks to generosity of private collectors, we can admire some of the most famous paintings that have been donated to the museum.
