Early 19th-Century Paintings for the Living Room

Here are 46 early 19th-century paintings for the living room, painted between 1800 and 1848, with works by George Catlin, Jacob van Strij and Gilbert Stuart; the subjects they return to most are landscapes, and animals. 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.
