You are likely to find exactly the old paint you’re looking for on 1stDibs, as there is a broad range for sale. You can easily find an example made in the Impressionist style, while we also have 150 Impressionist versions to choose from as well.

Creating an old paint has been a part of the legacy of many artists, but those crafted by Angelo Granati, Salvatore Marinelli, Carlo De Tommasi, Ettore Ferrante and Francesca Strino are consistently popular. Frequently made by artists working in paint, oil paint and fabric, these artworks are unique and have attracted attention over the years. A large old paint can be an attractive addition to some spaces, while smaller examples are available — approximately spanning 1.19 high and 1 wide — and may be better suited to a more modest living area.

Finding the Right Paintings for You

Painting is an art form that has spanned innumerable cultures, with artists using the medium to tell stories, explore and communicate ideas and express themselves. To bring abstract paintings, landscape paintings, still-life paintings and other original paintings into your home is to celebrate and share in the long tradition of this discipline.

When we look at paintings, particularly those that originated in the past, we learn about history, other cultures and countries of the world. Like every other work of art, paintings — whether they are contemporary creations or works that were made during the 19th century — can often help us clearly see and understand the world around us in a meaningful and interesting way.

Cave walls were the canvases for what were arguably the world’s first landscape paintings, which depict natural scenery through art. Portrait paintings and drawings, which, along with sculpture, were how someone’s appearance was recorded prior to the advent of photography, are at least as old as Ancient Egypt. In the Netherlands, landscapes were a major theme for painters as early as the 1500s. Later, artists in Greece, Rome and elsewhere created vast wall paintings to decorate stately homes, churches and tombs.

Today, creating a wall of art is a wonderful way to enhance your space, showcase beautiful pieces and tie an interior design together.

No matter your preference, whether you favor Post-Impressionist paintings, animal paintings, Surrealism, Pop art or another movement or specific period, arranging art on a blank wall allows you to evoke emotions in a room while also showing off your tastes and interests. A symmetrical wall arrangement may comprise a grid of four to six pieces or, for an odd number of works, a horizontal row. Asymmetrical arrangements, which may be small clusters of art or large, salon-style gallery walls, have a more collected and eclectic feel.

Download the 1stDibs app, which includes a handy “View on Wall” feature that allows you to see how a particular artwork will look on a particular wall, and read about how to arrange wall art. And if you’re searching for the perfect palette for your interior design project, what better place to turn than to the art world’s masters of color? 

On 1stDibs, you’ll find an expansive collection of paintings and other fine art for your home or office. Browse abstract paintings, portrait paintings, paintings by emerging artists and more today.

Questions About Old Paint

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 12, 2024

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Pablo Picasso was 36 years old when he painted his “Harlequin” series. He completed the six paintings in 1901. They depict scenes from Parisian cafes and draw inspiration from the works of Edgar Degas, Édouard Manet, Vincent van Gogh, Paul Gauguin and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. You'll find a selection of Pablo Picasso art on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 29, 2024
    To tell if an old painting is a print, use a magnifying glass to look at its surface up close. A real painting will have visible brushstrokes left behind by the artist. A print will usually have a smooth surface and may look like it's made up of tiny dots, depending on the printing process used to produce it. If you're still unsure about your piece, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable art dealer can assist you. Explore a collection of paintings on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 15, 2024

Alternatively, you can get the opinion of a knowledgeable art dealer or certified appraiser. Explore a wide variety of oil paintings on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023
    A painting produced by a skilled, noteworthy European artist that was produced before the 19th century may be considered an Old Master painting. The informal term was derived from the title of an artist who trained in a guild long enough to become a master, such as Leonardo da Vinci, who studied in a Florence painters’ guild. However, Old Masters paintings, prints and other art is now used to refer to work made by any artist with a high level of skill in painting, drawing, sculpture or printmaking who worked in Europe between 1300 and 1800. Some artists considered Old Masters include William Blake, Caravaggio, Jacques-Louis David, Frans Hals, Francisco Goya, Peter Paul Rubens, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Rembrandt, Titian and Jan Vermeer. On 1stDibs, find a variety of paintings from some of the world’s top galleries.
