The Accademia is kind enough to group works by artist so we'll do that here too, to the extent possible.

Veronese

Just his works alone are worth the price of admission!

Feast in the House of Levi by Veronese — Feast in the House of Levi by Veronese, 1573. Zoom in on the details below!

Left detail of Feast in the House of Levi by Veronese — Left detail.

Center detail of Feast in the House of Levi by Veronese — Because yeah it's that good.

Portraits of the Members of the Scuola dei Mercanti by Tintoretto — Portraits of the Members of the Scuola dei Mercanti by Tintoretto, 1591 - 1592. He did a bunch of group portraits like this; I guess they go a little quicker if you put everyone in the same outfit.

St. Mark Save the Slave from Torture by Tintoretto — St. Mark Saves the Slave from Torture by Tintoretto, 1547 - 1548.

For clarification, on this site "Tiepolo" by itself refers to the father, Giambattista. There's also a work by his son Giandomenico here.

Scourge of the Serpents by Tiepolo, 1732 - 1734. The space was such that this was impossible to get in one photo.

All the others

Crucifixion and Apotheosis of Ten Thousand Martyrs from Mount Ararat by Carpaccio — Crucifixion and Apotheosis of Ten Thousand Martyrs from Mount Ararat by Vittore Carpaccio, 1515. The only early renaissance paintings I like are the ones remniscient of Bosch.
