Large Paintings for a Kids' Room

Paintings with real scale: big canvases that still read from across the room when you print them large. A child's room can take color and energy the rest of the house cannot. Here are 90 paintings for a kids' room, each at least 100 cm (39 in) on its long side, with works by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Francisco de Goya and Pierre Puvis de Chavannes.
