I know absolutely nothing about decorating and how to appropriately place works of art. However, if I ever had the chance to have paintings in my own place - this is an idea of how I would go about doing it:
Vincent Van Gough's Starry Night
This has been one of my all time favorites since I was a child. I used to only appreciate the pretty colors and interesting use of swirls - as I got older this painting started to reveal more meanings to me. In my times of peace see this as a secluded small town with an entire world beyond its horizon waiting to be explored. I would put this one up in my bedroom - who wouldn't love to fall asleep to one of the best known works of art?
The Last Supper by Leonardo Da Vinci
This painting would definitely go up in my dining room. Call it satirical or disrespectful, I love this painting for its rich texture and almost serene like environment. Although I'm not much of a religious person myself, I believe in God and Jesus Christ - I love how this painting brings a sense of reality to something many people are skeptical about. All that being said, what better place to put the painting of the last supper in a dining room?
Leondaro Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man
I like this one, although maybe not considered a painting, because its a work of art all in its own. I have always been fascinated by Da Vinci (as you can see), for his widespread works including art, science, or engineering. I think this is the best of all worlds, and for that I would put this one in the study/office room. As a piece of inspiration, I think this one is definitely appropriate.
Picasso's Three Musicians
As silly as it sounds, I love Picasso's work during his cubism era. From what I know, this technique involves taking his subjects for the shapes he see's, and I think it's fascinating! I also think this style really brings out a cheery, playful sense in his works regardless of what his subjects are. This painting would go in the entertainment room. How appropriate!
