Genre Painting
Special Features of Our Collection
Genre painting can be found in many eras, as everyday situations and scenes from people's lives have always been a popular motif. This is also reflected in our diverse collection. Look forward to:
- Masterpieces of World Art: From Dutch Baroque painting with Jan Vermeer van Delft and the Biedermeier art of Carl Spitzweg to impressionistic works by Claude Monet and Auguste Renoir.
- Contemporary Originals: Beach scenes by Susanne Wind and Anja Struck or urban settings by Mavet or Anke Gruss.
Tip: Use our filter function and sort by artists, colour mood, techniques or epochs – this will help you find genre paintings that match your taste directly.
Tips for Selection
Intimate moments or lavish scenery full of pulsating life – deciding on one of the works from genre painting is not always easy. That is why we have put together a few tips for selection for you:
- Genre scenes fit perfectly into areas that invite you to linger – dining room, reading corner or living room. After all, there is always something to discover in genre paintings.
- Genre pictures from epochs such as Biedermeier and Baroque harmonise with classical interior styles – ideally with matching framing.
- A summery-light, playful atmosphere can be created with impressionist pictures by Max Liebermann or Peder Severin Krøyer – for holiday moments in everyday life.
- Modern designs and interiors harmonise perfectly with contemporary genre painting featuring big-city scenes and urban settings.
| To gain an impression of the harmony of the room before making a purchase, we offer you an interior configurator on our webpage. Here, you can view the desired painting in various furnishing styles or upload your own photo directly. |
Presenting Genre Painting Correctly
To ensure that the selected work of art looks its best in your home, business premises or office spaces, the following tips will help with a stylish presentation:
- Small formats look superb as part of a Petersburg-style display, where several pictures are arranged next to one another like a picture wall.
- Large formats require sufficient space to unfold their full effect and attract all eyes.
- Framing promises protection and stylish presentation. Classic gold frames showcase works from the Biedermeier epoch and Baroque, while simple shadow-gap frames harmonise with modern works. Individual frame selection is possible for many genre pictures.
