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). Paintings are highlighted by the Spelunker Potion, Magic Lantern, and Spelunker Glowsticks.

Notes

• The Catacomb is visually similar to Paintings and operates similarly, but is not considered a painting in the game's code. This is most likely because it has a different look, both picture and the frame, each time it is placed.
• When a painting is generated in a dungeon, the game can place 2 sizes of paintings: a 3×3 painting (2/3 chance), and a 6×4 painting (1/3 chance).
  • A random number between 1 and 7 (inclusive) is chosen for the 3×3 paintings. For 6×4 paintings, a random number between 1 and 17 (inclusive) is chosen. Note that The Guardian's Gaze is rarer than the other paintings because it must be chosen in two 1 in 7 rolls to appear. The chances for every painting are listed below.

• Blood Moon Rising 10.88%
• The Hanged Man 10.88%
• Glory of the Fire 10.88%
• Bone Warp 10.88%
• Skellington J Skellingsworth 10.88%

• Although Banners have the appearance of being wall hangings, they are not hung on the wall, but rather from blocks.
• Although the paintings "First Encounter", "Good Morning", "Through the Window" and "Underground Reward" appear to be square, their ingame size is 3 blocks wide by 2 blocks high.
• Waldo is much rarer than the other paintings that can be found in Underground Cabins. For any given painting in an Underground Cabin, there is a 32.5% chance for it to be a 2×3 painting, and out of all the 2×3 paintings, there is only a 0.49% chance for it to be Waldo. Combining these two percentages, there is only about a 0.16% chance for a painting to be Waldo.
