18th-Century Paintings for the Living Room

Here are 68 18th-century paintings for the living room, painted between 1702 and 1795, with works by Francesco Guardi, Canaletto and Thomas Gainsborough; the subjects they return to most are cityscapes, and architecture. Above a sofa or fireplace it needs real scale, about two thirds of the furniture's width, so the famous works that suit it are landscapes, harbors, gardens and city views painted to be seen from across a room.
