Moved into a new home. New furniture, new appliances. But the walls are bare. The price of wall art can be ridiculous. Since my love is for Thief, why not have a couple of screenshots from an FM or two blown up, printed and box-framed? Unfortunately, I can't think of an FM that stands out. (A Dark Mod mission will probably get more attention for something like this, but I've only played a handful.)
If you were going to hang a Thief screenie in your living room, from what FM would you take it? It can be city, forest, a room--anything will work. Day or night, clear or stormy.

I have this wallpaper for desktop, could be amazing on the wall too:

Regarding FMs, I would definitely take at least one from Christine missions. Pirates, ahoy, the night and daily pictures on island. There is also an image I remember from Lord Ashton campaign, I believe it is from the last mission. In front of you a big castle, mansion, the big moon above and the archer up in front of the moon. Very... poetic.
For Halloween, Rose Cottage springs to mind. The area in front of the entrance. Could be also the start area with the carriage.
Probably many more, just need to remember what FM I have played. Haven't played King story, but have heard there are some very beautiful images of the castle and surroundings.

So many amazing missions to choose from, it's hard to say. What popped into my head immediately was Breaking the Stone, by HipBreaker.

Rocksbourg mission 1 and 2. Best looking missions out there imo.

Keeper of Infinity has quite a few nice views.
The two CoSaS missions.
Broken Triad. Mission 2 is good if you want a more unusual setting.

http://str8g8.deviantart.com/art/The-City-23134104) 'The City' by str8g8 (mentioned in threads here) for me captures the essence of Thief, though it's not from a FM/OM, with the Garrett-like figure looking out over the infinitely sprawling city with all the lights and that amazing sky! It's been my desktop wallpaper for years and at 3200x1470 is a decent resolution to make a print from.
Among FMs, The Seven Shades of Mercury/Hammerite Imperium has some incredible and expansive scenes. Skacky's FMs have many "perfect" (imo) Thief views from the rooftops with the sky, the moon, the smoke rising from chimneys... the kind that make you linger to take in the absolute Thiefiness of it all. The FMs by Sensut, Lady Rowena, Eshaktaar, Eternauta, DrK, Darthslair, Purah, Frobber, Christine, and so many others also have great candidates too, so it's hard to choose just one "archtypical" Thief scene.
Have you considered a (
https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=large%20digital%20picture%20frame) large digital picture frame? That way you could display a different Thief scene every day/hour/whatever, but otoh it's not like a traditional art print.

That site won't let any of the images be copied. A shame, since it's got some nice work on display.
My wife wanted this hung on the wall, since it's so "pretty":
