Horizontal Paintings for the Dining Room

Wide paintings that sit naturally above a sofa, a bed, a sideboard or a tub. Narrow walls between windows suit portrait formats; a sideboard wall takes a horizontal work about two thirds of the sideboard's width. Here are 320 paintings for the dining room, each wider than it is tall, with works by George Inness, Paul Cézanne and Henri Fantin-Latour.

All 507 paintings for the dining room

The Basket of Apples, Paul Cézanne 16 × 20 in landscape print (41 × 51 cm), centered 47¼ in from the floor, 8 in above the dining table. Drawn to scale on a 12 × 8 ft wall.
