Galleria Franchetti - Ca' d'Oro

Description:

• This masterpiece of Gothic architecture has undergone numerous restorations, the last of which was in the 1980's. Inaugurated by the nobleman from whom it gets its name, the gallery is home to the whole of the Franchetti collection, and has gathered more works over time. Among the many beautiful works is 'Venus' by Titian, the 'Annunciation of Carpaccio' and 'Mantegna's San Sebastiano'. The gallery also houses works of art by Flemish and Dutch painters, as well as some works by Tintoretto, Giorgione and Paris Bordone.
