Landscape Paintings for the Hallway and Entryway

Open country, mountains, rivers and the sea: views that give a wall distance and air. Hallways are narrow and tall, so portrait-format paintings and small works hung in a line suit them best. Here are 36 paintings for the hallway and entryway, each a landscape, seascape, mountain or river view, with works by Jacob van Ruisdael, William Sidney Mount and Alfred Sisley.
