Stolen Delacroix
41 years ago today the largest art heist in Canadian history took place including this Delacroix. Armed thieves made off with $2 million (approximately $11 million in today’s dollars) in art from the Montreal Museum of Fine Art including works by Rembrandt, Corot, and Gainsborough. The three thieves set off an alarm or they would have made off with even more art. No one has ever been arrested for the crime. You can read more about it here.
When I read stories like this I always wonder where is all that art??? Is someone enjoying it somewhere or is it stuck in a storage unit??? What a shame.
