Finding the Right Paintings for You

Painting is an art form that has spanned innumerable cultures, with artists using the medium to tell stories, explore and communicate ideas and express themselves. To bring abstract paintings, landscape paintings, still-life paintings and other original paintings into your home is to celebrate and share in the long tradition of this discipline.

When we look at paintings, particularly those that originated in the past, we learn about history, other cultures and countries of the world. Like every other work of art, paintings — whether they are contemporary creations or works that were made during the 19th century — can often help us clearly see and understand the world around us in a meaningful and interesting way.

Cave walls were the canvases for what were arguably the world’s first landscape paintings, which depict natural scenery through art. Portrait paintings and drawings, which, along with sculpture, were how someone’s appearance was recorded prior to the advent of photography, are at least as old as Ancient Egypt. In the Netherlands, landscapes were a major theme for painters as early as the 1500s. Later, artists in Greece, Rome and elsewhere created vast wall paintings to decorate stately homes, churches and tombs.

Today, creating a wall of art is a wonderful way to enhance your space, showcase beautiful pieces and tie an interior design together.

No matter your preference, whether you favor Post-Impressionist paintings, animal paintings, Surrealism, Pop art or another movement or specific period, arranging art on a blank wall allows you to evoke emotions in a room while also showing off your tastes and interests. A symmetrical wall arrangement may comprise a grid of four to six pieces or, for an odd number of works, a horizontal row. Asymmetrical arrangements, which may be small clusters of art or large, salon-style gallery walls, have a more collected and eclectic feel.

Download the 1stDibs app, which includes a handy “View on Wall” feature that allows you to see how a particular artwork will look on a particular wall, and read about how to arrange wall art. And if you’re searching for the perfect palette for your interior design project, what better place to turn than to the art world’s masters of color

On 1stDibs, you’ll find an expansive collection of paintings and other fine art for your home or office. Browse abstract paintings, portrait paintings, paintings by emerging artists and more today.

Questions About Abstract Original Painting
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    An original painting is anything thought to be the true work of the artist instead of an imitation or reproduction. Original art can be in any media, as long as it is the first of that piece of art.
    Irena Orlov ArtFebruary 25, 2021
    When we refer to "original" it simply means a unique painting made by the artist's own hand. Acrylic, oil, engraving, watercolor, or drawings are authentic techniques that allow the artist to capture his or her distinctive stamp: such as textures, a particular way of brushstroke, colors, lines, among other elements. But besides, the idea must be unique, the result of creativity, which makes the work more valuable and desirable.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019

    An abstract painting uses shapes, colors and lines to create a composition that does not mirror the real world.

  • Lilac Gallery Ltd.March 17, 2021
    An abstract oil painting and an artwork that is made with oil paint on a medium like canvas, wood board, or other panels like canvas board. And the 'abstract' term refers to the Movement & Style of the piece. As abstraction indicates a departure from reality in the depiction of imagery in art, the artist creates a painting where the subject, shape, form, color, and line, is created with no particular references of the world but as a composition that may exist with a degree of independence from its vision.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 14, 2024
    To find the value of an original painting, experts generally recommend that you use the valuation services of a certified appraiser or experienced dealer. Although you can utilize the signature on the piece to identify the artist and then consult trusted online resources to see what other pieces by them have sold for in the past, many factors can affect how much a painting is worth, such as its condition, ownership history, size, materials and current level of demand for the artist's work. A knowledgeable professional can inspect your piece and take all of these things into consideration to provide you with an accurate estimated value. Explore a variety of paintings on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2024
    To tell a print from an original painting, study its surface carefully. On a painting, you will likely notice variations in texture and see visible brushstrokes. Prints are more likely to appear smooth due to the printing process. However, some prints may be enhanced with hand-applied brushwork after the production process, which may make it more difficult to tell a painting from a print. When in doubt, seek the opinion of a certified appraiser or knowledgeable art dealer. Explore a wide range of fine art on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 25, 2024
    How prints are made from original paintings varies. For centuries, the primary methods were traditional printmaking techniques such as engraving, etching, aquatint, drypoint and woodcut. Today, many artists use digital technology, scanning and photographing paintings and then using the files to produce giclée prints using large, specialized inkjet printers. On 1stDibs, shop a wide variety of art prints.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 20, 2024
    To tell if a painting is an original or a copy, research the artist and their work using trusted online resources. Specifically, learn about the brushstrokes that the artist commonly used and then examine your piece for evidence of these techniques. You can also compare the signature on your painting to the ones found in online images. Because it can be difficult to authenticate art without experience and training, you may wish to enlist the help of a certified appraiser or art dealer. On 1stDibs, find a wide variety of paintings.
