Who Painted That?

Have you ever been watching you favorite show and found yourself wondering who painted that amazing painting in that scene? I wonder this all the time. When I began looking around for information on the artists featured in various television shows, I was amazed at how difficult it was to find.

It seems like these artists should get more credit for their work. After all, there are countless websites dedicated to the music heard in tv shows - why not the art seen in tv shows? And so I have started this lens to explore these artists and to share information to discover their identities.
