After diving into over 300 art history paintings, I was inspired to curate my very own home wall masterpiece.

Selecting just 10 paintings was a challenge, but I’ve compiled a list that captures my current favorites.

As I continue to explore and study more artwork, this collection is sure to evolve.

Without further ado, here are 10 paintings I can’t wait to hang on my workspace wall.

1. The Hard lesson by William-Adolphe Bouguereau

Almost a year ago, my mind was not in a peaceful space. I was frequently overwhelmed and constantly judged my actions. Even after working for hours, my productivity waned.

Perhaps I was nostalgic and wanting to go back to simpler times.

At that moment, I came across this innocent beautiful painting on Quora. It surely melted my heart — The Hard lesson by William-Adolphe Bouguereau.

Was this painting a metaphor for that “very moment” and self-realization to not take life so seriously?

I think it was.

A charming girl with her book, a tale yet to unfold. And as her eyes meet ours, we’re captivated by her grace.
