Late 19th-Century Paintings for the Living Room

Here are 83 late 19th-century paintings for the living room, painted between 1850 and 1898, with works by Edward Mitchell Bannister, John Singer Sargent and George Catlin; the subjects they return to most are landscapes, 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.
