Trivia Answer for The Thomas Crown Affair stolen painting.

If you missed the previous post, here is the question again:

In the film, The Thomas Crown Affair (1999), Thomas Crown (played by the smoking hot Pierce Brosnan) steals a painting from the MET. It is one of these four paintings. Can you guess which one?

“Open Window, Collioure” (1905) by Henri Matisse
“Open Window, Collioure” (1905) Henri Matisse
“Cow with Parasol” (1946) by Marc Chagall
Cow with Parasol” (1946) Marc Chagall

If you guessed “San Giorgio Maggiore at Dusk” (1908) Claude Monet, you’re correct!

This painting was bequeathed to the National Museum Cardiff in Cardiff Wales by Gwendoline Davies.

Which one of these paintings would you steal if you had the choice?

I would definitely grab “Open Window, Collioure” (1905) by Henri Matisse. Matisse is one of my favorite artists of all time and I know just the spot where I would place this painting.

I’d love to know which painting you would steal, given the chance.
