Barbizon School Paintings for a Home Office

Here are 26 Barbizon School paintings for a home office, painted between 1825 and 1871, with works by Camille Corot, Jean-François Millet and Charles-François Daubigny; the subjects they return to most are cityscapes, and landscapes. An office painting should settle you rather than distract you, and it will often sit behind you on video calls, so it should also read well at a glance.
