Horizontal Paintings for the Bedroom

Wide paintings that sit naturally above a sofa, a bed, a sideboard or a tub. Horizontal formats sit naturally above a headboard: for a queen bed look for a print 40 to 45 in (100 to 115 cm) wide, for a king 51 to 57 in (130 to 145 cm). Here are 645 paintings for the bedroom, each wider than it is tall, with works by Claude Monet, Camille Corot and Gustave Courbet.
