Landscape Paintings for a Home Gym

Open country, mountains, rivers and the sea: views that give a wall distance and air. Dancers, horses at speed, rowers, boats under sail, breaking waves and storm skies all carry motion, and high contrast and saturated color hold their own against mirrors and equipment. Here are 44 paintings for a home gym, each a landscape, seascape, mountain or river view, with works by Thomas Cole, Winslow Homer and Gustave Courbet.
