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, 14 of which 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.

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.
• When a painting is generated in a dungeon, the game can place 2 sizes of paintings: a 3x3 painting (2/3 chance), and a 6x4 painting (1/3 chance).
  • A random number between 1 and 7 (inclusive) is chosen for the 3x3 paintings. For 6x4 paintings, a random number between 1 and 17 (inclusive) is chosen. Note that The Guardian's Gaze is rarer than the other paintings because it must be chosen in two 1 in 7 rolls to appear. The chances for every painting are listed below.

• 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 tooltip authors 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.
• The painting “Not a Kid Nor a Squid” seems to be a Splatoon reference.
