Venetian painting from the 14th to the 18th century, hung roughly in order. Bellini's Madonnas, Giorgione's Tempest, Titian, Tintoretto, and Veronese's enormous Feast in the House of Levi: the big names you saw on the Doge's Palace ceilings, at their best. Leonardo's Vitruvian Man belongs to the collection too, but it's light-sensitive and almost never on show. It's not huge, so two or three hours is enough to see it properly.
