Throughout Ripley, several famous paintings feature prominently, and their deeper meanings link to the themes of the show. Ripley is based on the series of novels by Patricia Highsmith, with the first season covering the events of the first book, The Talented Mr. Ripley. The show follows a con artist named Tom Ripley as he pounces on a rare chance to travel to Italy. While in Europe, he worms his way into the life of an old acquaintance, but his scheme soon takes a morbid turn, and he is forced to weave a web of deceit to escape the law.
