Stolen Paintings Returned To Dutch Museum

Description

More than a decade ago five Dutch paintings from the Golden Age were "among a trove of art stolen from a Dutch museum." The five paintings were discovered in the Ukraine earlier this year and have now returned home to the Westfries Museum in the town of Hoorn. A crowd-fund has been established to restore the paintings which incurred damage from the January 2005 burglary. Four of the paintings were uncovered by Ukrainian officials. The fifth was handed over personally from an art collector who had purchased the painting "in good faith."

  • Better Luck Next Time? Raid With Over 1500 Cops Leaves Berlin Police Empty-Handed

    A Berlin neighborhood was overrun with 1,638 officers and special forces personnel in a pre-dawn raid on 20 apartments and a number of vehicles and other venues. German police were in search of the 18th-century jewels taken a year ago from the Green Vault museum in Dresden. Newser reports three German men in their 20s with links to organized crime were arrested. But, alas, the stolen art treasures failed to be found. Members of the same Remmo 'Lebanese mafia' family were convicted in early 2020 for theft. They stole a 220-pound Canadian gold coin worth $4.45 million from a Berlin museum in 2017; it has not been found. Authorities fear for the jewels' fate.

  • Stolen Van Gogh Paintings Found by Anti-Mafia Police

    Two paintings by Vincent Van Gogh were recovered by anti-Mafia police in Naples last week, nearly 14 years after they were stolen from a museum in Amsterdam. Footage from the Italian Guardia di Finanza shows the discovery of the paintings after they were hidden in one of the houses of an international drug trafficker in Castellammare di Stabia, near Naples during a sting operation targeting organised crime. In 2002, the paintings were stolen from the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam, after thieves used a ladder and sledgehammer to break into the building. The works were valued at €89 million, or about $100 million, at the time. The masterpieces - View of the Sea at Scheveningen (1882) and Congregation Leaving the Reformed Church in Nuene (1884) - were painted early in the artists's career.
