My favorite painting of all time has been lifted from the Oslo Museum. What I want to know is how the painting, along with the same artists painting, “Madonna”, was stolen, seemingly in the light of day?
Did the thieves watch and study The Thomas Crown Affair??
“He was wearing a black face mask and something that looked like a gun to force a female security guard down on the floor,” visitor Marketa Cajova told NTB public radio.
“What’s strange is that in this museum, there weren’t any means of protection for the paintings, no alarm bell,” Castang told France Inter radio.
“The paintings were simply attached by wire to the walls,” he said. “All you had to do is pull on the painting hard for the cord to break loose – which is what I saw one of the thieves doing.”
Castang said police arrived on the scene 15 minutes later. Visitors were ushered into the museum’s cafeteria
Munch Paintings Stolen from Munich Museum
The Hidden Drama of The Lifes of The
Powerful and Influential Is Depicted In Art Baby. The search for the inner self is always hard….
CARL VON PILOTY (1826-1886), Munich painter at King Maximilian II’s court.
Piloty was Munich’s contribution to the European Realistic School, yet
King Maximilian II preferred for Piloty to portray scenes of those moments
in history, which portended future constellations of rulership in
Europe, or were emblematic of the hidden drama in the lifes of the
powerful and influential.
