Paintings of Flowers, Trees and other Popular Topics - Art - Painting


There are many topics which art fans like to find within their favourite paintings, covering a great variety of what is available after the development of art over the past few centuries. This article looks deeply into the different subjects who make their way into popular paintings and looks beyond just the major artists to find art simply on the basis of subject.

Landscape paintings became very popular from around the 19th century onwards and this has continued up to the present day, with mainstream art fans often appreciating generic landscape photographs and paintings that may not be of great academic interest but perfectly suit their own homes, adding a calming scene to a minimalist room.Cities across the world have also become popular topics for paintings for those looking to remember a specific scene from their favourite area, be it as a resident or tourist. The most common choices include the likes of Paris, London and New York which all benefit from their impressive list of landmarks that always make obvious choices for art though seem better suited to photographs than more traditional oil paintings.

Besides cities and landscapes, people have also become very popular subjects within art though this has pretty much always been the case ever since the Middle Ages and probably for many years even before that. There are many different styles of portraits available as well as self-portraits that capture the emotions of each artist very helpfully. Portraits of children and women are now regularly seen but previously art was very much a male dominated world over several centuries and this was underlined by the portrait topics chosen which would normally be rich noblemen.

We can conclude by stating that art topics are now about all sorts of different things after the style of art became much more varied after the Renaissance when new ideas were encouraged and a greater number of people were allowed to experiment with creative hobbies such as painting. Landscape topics were the real winner with mainstream art followers now regularly looking for paintings of flowers, trees, animals as well as their favourite cities such as perhaps New York, Paris or London. With new art movements coming out all the time, it is likely that this list will change over the next century as well, although nature based topics will surely always attract a considerable number of people even when up against the more abstract approaches which exist today.
