Wichita, Kansas – February 3, 2021 – As Valentine’s Day approaches, oil painting reproduction giant – overstockArt.com – has compiled a list of the 10 Most Romantic Paintings for Valentine’s Day 2021. The works were selected based on sales and traffic data from more than 500 of the world’s most romantic oil paintings showcased in overstockArt.com’s Romantic Gallery.
Artists’ expressions of love and romance through art are inspired by their personal experiences. Though some of the works in overstockArt.com’s Top 10 List date as far back as 1726, they are still powerful enough to evoke that same emotion in people today.
Common threads run through the selected paintings, regardless of the form of art or nationality of the artist. From Surrealist to the Impressionists, Contemporary to Modernist, European or American, specific themes are shared: the beauty of florals and the human form, evening time, music and the city of Paris.
Though these symbols are common, the collection emphasises that love is all around us and transpires through the ages. Its loveliness is not exclusive to the French Impressionists, but can also be found on the brush of a painter from the Dutch Golden Age such as Ruysch or Borda, a Contemporary Romanian artist.
Top 10 Most Romantic Paintings for Valentine’s Day 2021

Henri Fantin – Latour-White Peonies and Roses, Narcissus (1879)

Gustav Klimt – The Kiss (1908)
James Abbott McNeill Whistler – Symphony in Flesh Colour and Pink (1873)
Pierre-Auguste Renoir – Discarded Roses (1915)
Rachel Ruysch – Still Life (1726)
Childe Hassam – Summer Evening, Paris (1889)

VP of eCommerce for overstockArt.com, Amitai Sasson, said what was most apparent about the Top 10 Most Romantic Paintings for Valentine’s Day was that love could occur anywhere, and in any form.
“Appreciating romantic art is all about perception and personal experience, just as capturing it was for the artists behind these works. For several artists, Paris and the gleaming Eiffel Tower set the scene for a romantic work, for others, a rainy alley or the cobbled streets of Coventry. Manet and Fantin communicate love through white peonies in full bloom, Renoir through beautiful yet discarded roses,” Said Sasson.
The Top Ten List was compiled using consumer insights from overstockArt.com’s sales data and intent analysis from its millions of site visitors and customers.
