DESCRIPTION
| In December 2000, three men entered the National Museum, Stockholm, Sweden. One man threatened a guard with a submachine gun while the other two armed thieves removed three paintings worth $36 million within a few minutes. With Renoir’s Young Parisian and Conversation with a Gardner and a Rembrandt self-portrait in hand, the thieves escaped in a motor boat covering their escape with diversionary explosions in other parts of the city. One of the paintings, Conversation with a Gardner, was found later by police during a raid. The other two paintings were recovered in 2005. |
