Large Paintings for the Dining Room

Paintings with real scale: big canvases that still read from across the room when you print them large. Narrow walls between windows suit portrait formats; a sideboard wall takes a horizontal work about two thirds of the sideboard's width. Here are 169 paintings for the dining room, each at least 100 cm (39 in) on its long side, with works by George Inness, Thomas Cole and El Greco.

All 507 paintings for the dining room

The Harvesters, Pieter Bruegel the Elder 36 × 48 in landscape print (91 × 122 cm), centered 58 in from the floor, 8¾ in above the dining table. Drawn to scale on a 12 × 8 ft wall.
