Van Gogh painting stolen from Dutch museum
"The thieves took Van Gogh’s Parsonage Garden at Neunen in Spring after
smashing through the front glass door of the Singer Laren museum, in Laren, at around 3.15am on
Sunday morning.
No other art is believed to be missing."
"The
burglar alarm had been triggered by the break-in but the
thieves had fled by the time police officers arrived."
"During a press conference broadcast on Youtube, the museum’s director, Jan Rudolph de Lorm, said he was
“incredibly pissed off” by the loss of the painting, which had been
on loan from the Groninger Museum."
"museum’s
security measures had gone “entirely according to protocol”."
A
ccording to the museum website created no later than 14 March, "Singer Laren will be closed until 31 March due to the coronavirus outbreak."
The painting was stolen on
30 March. Why planing for the last moment?
