A painting by which artist was stolen in the 1999 film "The Thomas Crown Affair"?

The painting stolen in the second film of "The Thomas Crown Affair" (1999) was the 1908 impressionist painting "San Giorgio Maggiore" ("Sunset in Venice") at dusk by Claude Monet. It forms part of a series of views of the monastery-island of San Giorgio Maggiore.

Oscar-Claude Monet (1840 – 1926) was a French painter and founder of impressionism. The term "impressionism" is derived from the title of his painting "Impression, Soleil levan" (Impression, Sunrise), which was exhibited in 1874. It depicts the sunrise of Monet's hometown of Le Havre.

From 1883, Monet lived in Giverny, where he began a vast landscaping project which included lily ponds that would become the subjects of his best-known works.

The "Thomas Crown Affair" is a 1999 American art heist film directed by John McTiernan and starring Pierce Brosnan, Rene Russo and Denis Leary. It is a remake of the 1968 film of the same name which was a multi-million dollar heist from a Boston bank.

Thomas Crown (Brosnan) is able to buy everything he desires. He engages in another pastime namely stealing priceless masterpieces of art. After the theft of "San Giorgio Maggiore" by Claude Monet, the only person suspecting him is Catherine Banning (Rene Russo) an insurance investigator.
