The Uffizi Gallery has a web site with a virtual gallery; here is a link to the list of rooms (there is also a list of painters alphabetized by first rather than surname):

Because I know what room she's in before she sees the painting (I mean in the film) you're talking about I thought this would be a breeze but I think they must have changed the rooms around since 1996. In the movie the first fabulous and astonishing painting she sees is in the Early Renaissance room and it's called Battle of San Romano (by Paolo Uccello). She goes directly from that painting into the Botticelli Room but in reality, today, the setup is such that those rooms are at least three rooms apart. In the Botticelli Room (rooms 10-14 in the virtual gallery) she spends time with B's Venus and Primavera, it is the latter that mesmerizes her so that she reaches out to touch it causing the alarm to go off which really startles her. She moves in the other direction into the next room and in the movie the sign on the door, of the room she's entering, says (in Italian) "leaving the map room." Now the Map Room (which it was, there were maps on the wall) is several doors away from the Botticelli rooms today. I think it is room 116 (and Early Renaissance I think is 7. I have been through all these virtualrooms looking at images and can't find this painting and do I ever feel frustrated. What I fear is that perhaps the painting isn't on display right now for museums are always changing things around. However, there was no way I could check images for every painting in the virtualgallery because it was too hard on my eyes. I thought the painting looked Flemish and they do have a Flemish room but it's not there now. But a painter's nationality doesn't guarantee which room his work will be in. If it's there, it could be ANYWHERE. Well, that is all I have to share and I hope someone will visit the gallery who has more patience than I and locate the wonderful seascape she enters and report back. Or that someone who just happens to be familiar with the painting will enlighten us. I was surprised that the movie's credits don't credit any specific paintings, only galleries. (I only watched this last night for the first time which is why I can be sure about that for I wanted to know what the first battle painting was myself and was so disappointed.) Those four paintings, and the one on the ceiling of the map room which is dizzying to her, also the round portrait with the very dark background leading into that room of the man in a kind of Munch-like distress with what might have been snakes on the sides of his head (pardon my syntax please), provide incredible atmosphere in the film and it would have been lovely had there been attributions somewhere on the dvd if not in the film itself. I certainly hope TSS is released again in the future by Anchor Bay because this Troma dvd is not what I'd call a class act. Good luck!
