River Landscape Art Printables

These vintage landscape art prints feature scenic rivers, trees, and castles. They depict scenes of traveling and everyday life common centuries ago. They add vintage charm to any space and are ideal for laundry room decor, living room decor, bathroom decor, and bedroom decor.

The River Road

This print showcases a castle on a hillside by a river on one side. And a road running along the river with travelers on the other side. I love the hazy depiction of this print and the contrast of blues and greens of the river and trees against oranges and browns of the rocks and castle.

Resting by the River

The lighting in this print is beautiful. I love the rays of sun breaking through the clouds and the casting of shadows and light on the cattle. The detail of the birds flying, the sailboats in the river, and the herdsman standing on the hill give this art print a soft, relaxed air.

River Ferry

This print depicts a simple ferry carrying passengers, goods, and livestocks across a river. I like how the buildings, ships, and other small boats in the background paint the picture of a place of commerce.

River Castle

This print is a different angle of the castle depicted in the first print. The landscape is similar and the artist again uses rich blues, greens, oranges, and browns to capture the landscape. I like the detail of the people on the riverbanks fishing and sitting.

Tips for Printing

• Check your printer. Make sure your printer is full of colored ink if printing at home to avoid discoloration or streaking.
• Choose your paper. Use card stock or thicker paper to create more sturdy prints. Regular computer paper is fine too but using thicker paper will create an elevated look.
• Leave the scale as is. Don’t adjust the scale of the PDF when printing, meaning let it print at full size to get an 8×10 image.
• Make it matted. If you DO want to make the image smaller and have a boarder around it (a print in this style is called mat) you can adjust the scale of the image when printing. 
• Let it dry. Avoid touching the printed image and set it aside to let the ink fully dry before framing.
• Take it to the experts. If you’re unsure of how to print at home or don’t have a printer, you can always print the wall art at a local print shop or office supply store. Call ahead or look online to get instructions in their process.
