my favorite piece of iwtv lore that is real To Me is that Louis was the one who robbed the Isabella Stewart Gardner museum
#storm on the Sea of Galilee is hanging!! in the dining room!!#and gets blood thrown on it in s2!!#could Louis have gotten it off the black market? perhaps#but I like to think he was bored in Boston and robbed it himself#and that’s MY truth#iwtv#interview with the vampire#louis de pointe du lac#I also might be late to this like this may be a ‘duh’ moment#but I haven’t seen anyone say it and I feel crazy every time I see it in those dining room scenes

So, I just found @interviewwiththevampireart, and it inspired me to look for this portrait in the dining room of the Dubai apartment (screenshot from 1.02):
It took about two minutes of Googling to find out that it's Rembrandt's Christ in the Storm on the Sea of Galilee, painted in 1633.
This is from the Wikipedia entry on the painting:
Christ in the Storm on the Sea of Galilee is a 1633 oil-on-canvas painting by the Dutch Golden Age painter Rembrandt van Rijn. It is classified as a history painting and is among the largest and earliest of Rembrandt's works. It was purchased by Bernard Berenson for Isabella Stewart Gardner in 1869 and was displayed at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston before its theft in 1990; it remains missing.
This is such a small detail, but it just proves how amazing the set design is in this show. Loumand have one of the most famous missing pieces of art in America just hanging in their dining room. I'm sure other people have noticed this before, but I thought it was so cool, and I wanted to share!
