This administration had disbanded many institutions in Venice including some churches, convents and schools. The Scuola della Caritą, the Convento dei Canonici Lateranensi and the church of Santa Maria della Caritą thus became the home of the Accademia.

Gentile Bellini, Giovanni Bellini, Canaletto (Antonio Canal), Caravaggio, Vittore Carpaccio, Rosalba Carriera, Francesco Guardi, Giorgione (da Castelfranco), Pietro Longhi, Lorenzo Lotto, Andrea Mantegna , Giambattista Piazzetta, Giambattista Tiepolo, Tintoretto (Jacopo Robusti), Titian (Tiziano Vecellio), Paolo Veronese (Paolo Caliari)
Highlights of the collection include:
