Painters A–Z

104 painters

This A to Z catalogue lists 104 famous painters, from Hieronymus Bosch, born about 1450, to painters active in the 1920s. Each entry gives the painting's date, medium, size, and holding museum, followed by a short explanation of what you see. The list covers old masters and 19th/early-20th-century painters, so you can move from a fifteenth-century Netherlandish panel to a 1920s canvas without leaving one index.

The list includes only artists who died before 1956 and works made before 1931, so every painting is in the public domain. It also keeps the focus on art that has entered the shared visual record, from Dutch still lifes to French Impressionist city views.

Use the alphabetical index to jump to a surname, or read straight through to compare sizes, dates, and museum locations. Each painter page lists the works in the catalogue, with the facts stated plainly. There are no prices and no cart, only the painting, its data, and a short note on what you are looking at.
