Who is ready for the holidays? I know I’m not. Are you looking for the perfect gift for a loved one? Check out these famous Christmas artwork and paintings as an original gift.

Choosing a gift can sometimes be real science. Be honest; you have a lot of sweaters with funny motives, as well as socks and underwear which you got as a Christmas present. And you also opt for these as a gift quite often.

Things we mention can be practical but already seen many, many times. You don’t have any enthusiasm for choosing holiday presents when you decide to give money or a gift card to someone you love. But why lose that enjoyable habit of buying something special to our loved ones?

Often, we don’t have much time, and we are under such stress that we make a selection of gifts routinely, or choose first the first thing we saw. If you’re out of ideas for this year, we have something for you – Christmas artwork.

Admit that something like this didn’t come to your mind. These pictures can be a unique and great gift for any occasion, but since Christmas is near, opt for some of the many motifs inspired by this joyful holiday.

In Short About Hand-Made Artwork and Paintings

As the name says, all of these products are made by hand and thus represent a piece of artwork. Although the picture theme is not original but taken from a famous painting or photo, the fact that it is done on canvas, with oil paints and that working on it requires several days, add some value to this gift.

The size selection is large, and the cost of making the most depends on it. If you want your gift to look more authentic, you can frame it or ask to be done on a hard surface, like metal. This way, your present is ready to take a special place on the wall.

Motifs to Choose as a Christmas Painting and Artwork

When choosing Christmas presents, it is logical to opt for some motifs that remind of this holiday or this time of year. It may sound like a cliché, but all of them can look original and unique as a painting. You can choose literally any image – artists who make these paintings will faithfully represent it. Depending on the theme, there are some informal rules about giving this kind of gifts.

Church Motifs and Landscape

Beginning from the Renaissance and Baroque period, some of the most prevalent motifs were the origins of Christmas, the birth of Christ and the Christian customs. Church motifs prevailed in the paintings of Rubens, Rembrandt, Caravaggio and other famous artists of the Middle Ages. These themes are universal, exalted, and represent Christmas as church sees it. Here you can see famous artwork that can serve as an inspiration.

Landscapes are also quite common motif, as there is nothing personal in these artworks. This painting would be a good choice for some public spaces, like offices or halls. Give this present to your dear boss, business partner, not-so-close friend or even donate to an institution.

The Family as the Symbol of Modern Christmas

As new painting directions arrived, family and community prevail in Christmas artworks, as the common understanding of this holiday. Many modern artists enhance the significance of the family. They show people around the fireplace, table, and kids next to a decorated tree or playing in the snow. Santa Claus has always been a part of Christmas theme. But since it has long been considered a pagan invention, just recently he earned a deserved place on Christmas paintings.

These motives are a bit more personal, as they reflect all the warmth and coziness of home. If you want unique paintings to decorate the living space of your loved ones, choose one of these motifs. Even for the youngest, you can choose Santa motifs in a small dimension, which will be stylish Christmas decoration in a children’s room.

Christmas is a time for sharing and taking care of those who make us happy. We did our best to show you one way how to surprise them with something unique that will be one-of-a-kind memory and last for a long time.
