Paintings are decorative furniture items that can be placed on background walls. Each is a framed image that depicts a particular scene, usually Terraria-related. Their tooltips generally contain a person's name, apparently intended to credit each painting's artist; some names may be fictional, though some correspond to known Terraria sprite designers (see Trivia below).
There are currently 80 paintings, of which 14 are sold by the Painter under certain conditions, 9 are randomly sold by the Traveling Merchant, 15 are found placed naturally in Underground Cabins, 24 in the Dungeon, 12 in The Underworld, 5 randomly acquired from Goodie Bags, and 1 awarded randomly by the Angler for completing a fishing quest.

Gallery
Notes
- The Catacomb is visually similar to Paintings and operates similarly, but is not considered a painting in the game's code. This is most likely because it has a different look, both picture and the frame, each time it is placed.
- Other decorative wall hangings include Hanging Skeleton and Wall Skeleton (both looted from the Dungeon), Trophies (dropped by Bosses), Holly (looted from Christmas Presents), Racks (crafted at the Sawmill), Animal Skins (sold by the Traveling Merchant), Compass Rose, Life Preserver, Ship's Wheel, Treasure Map and Wall Anchor (Angler quest rewards).
- Although Banners have the appearance of being wall hangings, they are not hung on the wall, but rather from blocks.
- Although the paintings "First Encounter", "Good Morning", "Through the Window" and "Underground Reward" appear to be square, their ingame size is 3 blocks wide by 2 blocks high.
Trivia
- Some tooltips correspond to members of Terraria's development staff:
- V. Costa Moura: Victor "Crowno" Moura
- J. T. Myhre: Jim T Myhre
- J. Hayes: Jamison Hayes
- D. Phelps: David Phelps
- A. Craig: Aaron Craig
- W. Garner: Will Garner
- The frames on the paintings normally correspond to a wood or block.
- The painting "Ominous Presence" seems to have little correlation between its placed sprite and inventory sprite.
