I haven't seen the film but I hope this might help.

The Monet paintings used in the film, "San Giorgio Maggiore at dusk" and "Wheatstacks", are, of course, reproductions and were supplied by the Troubetzkoy Gallery in New York, USA. What's more, the originals are not owned by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. "San Giorgio Maggiore at dusk" is owned by the Bridgestone Museum of Art in Tokyo, Japan and is currently (2003) on display in the National Museum and Art Gallery, Cardiff, Wales. "Wheatstacks" is at the Getty Museum in Los Angeles. The painting Crown admires and calls "his haystacks" is Vincent van Gogh's "Noon: Rest From Work (After Millet)", the original of which is in the Mus�e d'Orsay in Paris, France

Sanj, I've seen the film a few times but not for a while. I can't remember what the painting at the top of the stairs in his house looks like. Can you remember any details from the painting? Maybe if my memory is refreshed I can help - otherwise I'll have to buy/rent the DVD to satisfy my curiosity.
