Some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/art\/paintings\/\">paintings<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/art\/prints-works-on-paper\/\">prints<\/a> became popular because of their pleasing, jarring or conversation-sparking juxtapositions of hues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To help you devise an eye-grabbing color scheme in your living space, we put together 10 mood boards informed by famous colorful paintings. We also show how these palettes can be incorporated in an interior through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/\">furniture<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/decorative-objects\/\">decorative objects<\/a> with hues drawn from some of art history\u2019s most iconic and influential works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-the-last-supper-1495-98-by-leonardo-da-vinci\">1. <em>The Last Supper, <\/em>1495\u201398<em>, <\/em>by Leonardo da Vinci<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Created by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/buy\/leonardo-da-vinci\/\">Leonardo da Vinci<\/a> (1452\u20131519) for the Santa Maria delle Grazie monastery in Milan, Italy, <em>The Last Supper<\/em> is one of the most recognizable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/art\/style\/renaissance\/\">Renaissance<\/a> masterpieces. The painting captures the moment after Jesus told the apostles that one of them will betray him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of the traditional fresco technique of painting on wet plaster, Leonardo experimented with tempera applied to a dry wall; unfortunately, as a result, the luminous colors soon began to deteriorate and flake off. Even with the damage the work has sustained and the often unsuccessful efforts at restoration, we can appreciate the artist\u2019s adroit use of color. Jesus wears traditional red and blue robes, while the apostles are adorned in other bright colors, all contrasting with the long white table in front of them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To draw color inspiration from this famous painting, look to the bright reds, blues and oranges, as well as greens, broken up by off-white shades.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1963\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/1-last-supper.jpg\" alt=\"Graphic explaining how to draw color inspiration from Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper (1495\u201398) for your interiors.

Van Gogh, who suffered from mental illness throughout his life, didn\u2019t receive much acclaim while alive, but he became posthumously celebrated for his bold, expressive use of color.

Part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/art\/style\/neo-expressionist\/\">neo-Expressionist<\/a> movement, which sought to create artworks based on subjectivity and raw emotion, Basquiat drew on his Caribbean heritage and Black identity, as well as pop culture and commercial art, in his work. His pieces <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/introspective-magazine\/basquiat\/\">often convey a commentary<\/a> on harmful stereotypes and power structures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among Basquiat\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/most-expensive-painting\/\">most coveted works<\/a> are his skull paintings, such as <em>Untitled, <\/em>1981. Inspired by anatomical drawings and reminiscent of X-ray images, it comments on Western artists\u2019 cultural appropriation of African masks, while also exploring the concept of identity. With its powerful mark making and intense colors, the painting provides a somewhat frenzied portrayal of both the inside and outside of a head simultaneously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reference this compelling yet eerie painting with pieces boasting striking lines and strong blue, red and orange hues.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1963\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/9-untitled-2.jpg\" alt=\"Graphic that explains how to draw interior design inspiration from Jean-Michel Basquiat's Untitled (1981).
