Grundbegriff (Guest) wrote: I was reading some messages in the old forum and came across the discussion at http://ttlg.gameforum.com/Forum6/HTML/001115.html of the paintings that appear throughout Thief. I thought I'd fill in some blanks. I'm still waiting for a couple of them to click, since I know they're tucked 'neath a convolution somewhere. I can't seem to retrieve them at the moment.
