Impressionist Paintings for the Living Room

Here are 258 Impressionist paintings for the living room, painted between 1849 and 1928, with works by Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro and Alfred Sisley; the subjects they return to most are landscapes, and skies and weather. 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.
