Vertical Paintings for the Dining Room

Portrait-format paintings, taller than they are wide, for narrow walls, the space between windows and beside a door. Narrow walls between windows suit portrait formats; a sideboard wall takes a horizontal work about two thirds of the sideboard's width. Here are 180 paintings for the dining room, each taller than it is wide, with works by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Edgar Degas and El Greco.

All 507 paintings for the dining room

Woman Reading, Édouard Manet 16 × 20 in portrait print (41 × 51 cm), centered 49¼ in from the floor, 8 in above the dining table. Drawn to scale on a 12 × 8 ft wall.
