Van Gogh, View of the Sea at Scheveningen

DESCRIPTION
In December 2002, two thieves used a ladder to climb to the roof and break
in to the Vincent Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam, The Netherlands. In just a
few minutes the thieves stole two paintings: Van Gogh’s View of the Sea
at Scheveningen and Congregation Leaving the Reformed Church in Nuenen,
valued at $30 million. Dutch police convicted two men in December 2003,
but did not recover the paintings. |
