In today's episode, The Stinas explore the mysterious portraits adorning the walls throughout the Owens residence on Magnolia Street. They discuss Maria's painting as mentioned in the books and take note of a possible plot hole in the portrait's traveling capabilities!
They explore more Titanic connections that lead them to believe that Rose was in fact a long lost Owens ancestor. No episode is complete without a deep dive into the movie scenes - The Stinas explore each portrait peppered throughout the film and the artists who painted them.
However, most of the paintings in the film remain a mystery and many questions still beg to be answered - What are they called? Who painted them? What are their origins? And WHY were they chosen for the film? Do they hold greater significance to the Owens storyline, than meets the eye
And that's not all! The Stinas explore Princess Sybille of Cleves, the subject of the film's most noteworthy paintings, as well as her entire family of royals during the rule of Henry VIII- not to mention one of history's juiciest catfishing schemes! Artists explored in today's episode are Barthel Bruyn the Elder, Lucas Cranach the Elder, Hans Holbein the Younger, Pietro Antonio Rotari, and Rembrandt Peale!
