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 Realistic Bird Paintings
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 15, 2024
    What you call a painting that is not realistic varies. If the work doesn't represent the real world, a general term for it is abstract. A work that doesn't seek to portray a subject realistically may also be an example of a specific art movement. For example, Impressionist art embraced loose brushwork and plein-air painting to respond to the movement of daily life. In contrast, Pop art drew on imagery from popular culture, such as comic books, advertising, product packaging and other commercial media. Researching the artist of a painting can help you learn more about the art movements they were associated with. On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of paintings.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    While there is no consensus for the world's most realistic painting, there are many artists who are exploring hyperrealism, an extension of photorealism that evokes the illusion of photography and photographic images. Well-known hyperrealists include Jason de Graaf, Gustavo Silva Nuñez, Simon Hennessey and Carole Feuerman.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024
    Opinions differ on who painted the most realistic portraits. Among historical artists, Leonardo da Vinci, Rembrandt van Rijn, John Singer Sargent, Jan van Eyck and Diego Velázquez are all contenders for the title. Many contemporary Photorealist and Hyperrealist portrait artists have also produced incredibly lifelike works. Among them are Taner Ceylan, Robert Longo, Chuck Close, Kelly Birkenruth and Daniela Werneck. Find a large selection of portrait paintings on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024
    Although many artists may fit this description, a famous German artist who painted realistic portraits is Wilhelm Leibl. As a printmaker and painter, Leibl worked during the second half of the 19th century and created many paintings of German peasants in traditional dress. Some of his most notable works include Three Women in Church, Die Dorfpolitiker, Farm Girl with a White Head Scarf and Die junge Pariserin (Die Kokotte). On 1stDibs, shop a wide variety of Realist art.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 26, 2024
    The first Italian painter to paint realistic figures was Giotto di Bondone. His works marked a departure from the elongated, stylized forms common in early Christian art and served as inspiration for Italian Renaissance painters. Giotto's most famous paintings include Lamentation, the Ognissanti Madonna, the Kiss of Judas and Pentecost. Explore a diverse assortment of fine art on 1stDibs.
