Description
A precious Vincent van Gogh painting stolen and then handed to a Dutch art sleuth in an IKEA bag goes on display for the first time since its headline-grabbing return. The 1884 "Parsonage Garden at Nuenen in Spring", worth up to six million euros ($6.8 million), was stolen in a daring midnight heist during the March 2020 Covid-19 lockdown from the Singer Laren Museum near Amsterdam, when it was on loan from Groningen. Following its return nearly four years later, it is unveiled to media at a Rotterdam museum, with damage from the theft still visible. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
