Sport Painting for Sale
Since Antiquity, sport and athletes have inspired artists, who depict their feats in their works. While photography is often the first medium that comes to mind when thinking about representations of sport in art, painters have long been inspired by athletes as well, capturing their training sessions, competitions, victories, and defeats on canvas. One might think of Gustave Courbet’s powerful wrestlers (The Wrestlers, 1853), or Claude Monet’s gentle impressionist regattas (Regattas at Argenteuil, 1872) as examples of sport in painting. Today, many contemporary artists also choose sport as a favorite subject. Whether you're a dedicated athlete or an avid spectator, whether you prefer dance or boxing, let yourself be inspired by our artists' works and live your passions through painting by exploring hundreds of sports-themed artworks on Artsper.
