Post-Impressionist Paintings for the Living Room

Here are 74 Post-Impressionist paintings for the living room, painted between 1873 and 1913, with works by Paul Cézanne, Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gauguin; the subjects they return to most are landscapes, and forests and trees. 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.
