Sokolov Painting Locations (Minor Spoilers)
Anton Sokolov, mad genius and Renaissance Man, has painted many portraits of Dunwall's rich and famous. His paintings, however, are now scattered across the city after the assassination of the Empress. By collecting these precious paintings, Corvo can receive many hundreds of coin (usually 300), through Piero's black market, and thus earn numerous extra upgrades to his weapons and armor.
If you're having trouble finding the location of these paintings, earn enough runes to unlock Dark Vision Level 2. Once activated, Dark Vision will allow Corvo to see any Sokolov Paintings in his general vicinity as green rectangles. Certainly, collecting these paintings isn't the only way for Corvo to earn coin, but it's by far the best. If you find all of the paintings, you will also earn the "Art Dealer" Achievement for 50G or a Bronze Trophy on PS3.
