In Chinese culture, the duck is a symbol of a happy marriage and fidelity and is often used in wedding decor. A male and female duck together in the water is also an allegory of the ideal marriage to have. In this collection of paintings, you will see all sorts of ducks as they happily stroll through the water or on land, watch their ducklings, or even happily interact with nearby children.

Portrait paintings and drawings, which, along with sculpture, were how someone’s appearance was recorded prior to the advent of photography, are at least as old as Ancient Egypt. In the Netherlands, landscapes were a major theme for painters as early as the 1500s. Later, artists in Greece, Rome and elsewhere created vast wall paintings to decorate stately homes, churches and tombs. Today, creating a wall of art is a wonderful way to enhance your space, showcase beautiful pieces and tie an interior design together.
