Travel

Travel paintings are popular. The images can range from a romantic seaside scene to a rugged mountaintop. While some paintings are simply snapshots, others are representations of specific destinations. They are not limited to just one location and are also a great way to display your personal travel experiences. 

Travel paintings have long inspired pilgrimages. In fact, many artists are inspired to create artwork that is reminiscent of a pilgrimage. For centuries, the Grand Tour was a cultural "pilgrimage" by the rich nobility of Northern Europe to key destinations in Southern Europe, predominantly in Italy. As a result, the concept of a pilgrimage has always been present in travel.
