What are the name of the artwork (and artists) used as props in Thomas
Crown's house in the 1999 movie, Thomas Crown Affair.
As many as possible, but the most important are the one above his bed
and the ones along the stairs.  I do not need to know the ones in the
museum.

There is no answer at this time.

Hello moviefan,

I did not see the movie but I've located who contributed the artistic
talent on the project.

First I checked http://www.imdb.com and searched on "full cast and
credits." http://us.imdb.com/Credits?0155267  I arrowed down to set
decoration and found that Leslie E. Rollins was set decorater on this
film.

Next I entered "Thomas Crown Affair+Leslie Rollins+art" on Google and
located this article about Troubetzkoy Painting.

Troubetzkoy Gallery:

Hope this helps,
V

Hi moviefan,

I just received a note back from Troubetzkoy Paintings, so I thought
I'd post what we do have on your question even though it's expired.

-------------

Thank you for your interest in Troubetzkoy Paintings.  Unfortunately
we
do not have the information you requested regarding our paintings that
were used in the Thomas Crown Affair.  Sorry we could not be of more
help.

Sincerely,
Christopher Moore

Several of the GA researchers collaborated on this for you.  Webadept
had this film on DVD and isolated the artwork in question and posted
it in the researcher's forum; {shakes head} I still can't believe he
did that.  From the photos, angy-ga was able to find the painting
hanging over the bed; it's Sir Edward Burne-Jones' "The Mirror of
Venus" from the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, Lisbon, Portugal which
you can view here...

Sorry we couldn't be of more help but it's certainly not for lack of
trying.  We hope to come through for you next time.

Cheers,
V
