Flower Paintings for the Living Room

Bouquets, blossoms and gardens: color you can live with in every season. 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. Here are 71 paintings for the living room, each a painting of flowers or a garden, with works by Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro and Georges Seurat.
