Baroque Paintings for a Home Office

Here are 19 Baroque paintings for a home office, painted between 1570 and 1743, with works by Claude Lorrain, Diego Velázquez and Canaletto; the subjects they return to most are religion, and cityscapes. 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.
