Vertical Paintings for a Guest Room

Portrait-format paintings, taller than they are wide, for narrow walls, the space between windows and beside a door. Horizontal formats above the bed, 40 to 45 in (100 to 115 cm) wide for a queen, make the room feel finished. Here are 130 paintings for a guest room, each taller than it is wide, with works by Paul Cézanne, Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Vincent van Gogh.
