In order to help fellow fathers get gifts they\u2019ll love this year, the owners of online gallery overstockArt.com<\/a> have revealed the top five most popular paintings for dads. A handmade oil painting that fits the father in your life can be a surprising, tasteful, and lifelong gift to the man of the house.<\/p>\n

“When a dad is elegant and tasteful, his man-cave should probably fit the part.” said David Sasson, CEO of overstockArt.com. “We love sharing our unique insights and customer favorites with the art world to help art lovers know what’s cool and trending for their space, and what would make the perfect gift for the refined dad this Father’s Day.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Father’s Day Top 5 list was built in part by analyzing traffic to the overstockArt.com website from fathers in the US, measured over the past 12 months. According to the data, these stunning artworks are what dads desire most.<\/p>\n

The top five oil paintings for Father’s Day include:<\/p>\n

\"Gustav<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Golden Knight\u201d by Gustav Klimt<\/a> \u2013 Austrian innovator Gustav Klimt created this image in 1903. The flattened space, simplified geometric forms, and richly detailed patterning are characteristic of his style. Exemplifying the poise, status, and honor of chivalric traditions, this piece is a great fit for the gentleman dad.<\/p>\n

\"Paul<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cCard Players with Pipes\u201d by Paul Cezanne<\/a> \u2013 This landmark painting in the career of Paul Cezanne was sold for $272 million in 2011. Depicting common people engrossed in a simple activity, the balanced opposition of their game is echoed in the composition. Paul Cezanne is identified today as the most dominant influence in the abstraction of modern art. Whether dad plays cards, smokes a pipe, or just loves great art, you can\u2019t go wrong with this painting.<\/p>\n

\"William<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cA Sunset Calm in the Bay of Fundy\u201d by William Bradford<\/a> \u2013 It\u2019s difficult to not get swept up in the vivid sunset and adventurous nautical theme of this painting by William Bradford. Known for his expansive romantic portrayals of seafaring vessels around New England and the Arctic, it\u2019s no surprise Bradford makes the list.<\/p>\n

\"George<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cStag Night at Sharkey\u2019s\u201d by George Wesley Bellows<\/a> \u2013 An athlete as well as an artist, Bellows depicts the violent energy and fierce competition of lean young boxers in an underground fight. The strong lights in a darkened space create an image full of contrast that just pops off the canvas. Fighters, spectators, and fans of early 20th<\/sup> century America will be delighted to hang this piece on the wall.<\/p>\n

\"Edward<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cNighthawks\u201d by Edward Hopper<\/a> \u2013 New York native Edward Hopper\u2019s most famous work captures the atmosphere of a quiet diner. Now hanging in the Art Institute of Chicago, it remains one of the most well-known and often imitated pieces of American art.<\/p>\n

There are many more curated staff picks for dads in the “Gifts for Dads” art gallery<\/a>.<\/p>\n
