You can read an interesting post about the art in the film here.

You will see that the only painting that Ray (Colin Farrell) likes is a triptych called The Last Judgment, a version of which coincidentally featured in my post on Monday. The one I posted was by Hieronymous Bosch and is in Vienna; the one in Bruges is of doubtful attribution. It may be by Bosch, but experts think it is more likely to be by members of his workshop.

P.S. If you like black comedies then In Bruges is definitely for you! I wouldn’t say it was really a Christmas movie though…
