Paintings

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.
