Portrait of Jacob de Gheyn III

Portrait of Jacob de Gheyn III
Rembrandt / Public domain · resizedfile
Recovered after each of its four thefts. Rembrandt's portrait is small, only about 30 by 25 centimeters, and that is part of why it has been stolen from the Dulwich Picture Gallery four times since 1966, the most recorded of any painting. It has earned the nickname the takeaway Rembrandt. Its recoveries read like a list of unlikely hiding places: with four men arrested in a taxi, in a luggage rack in Münster, under a bench in a Streatham graveyard and on the back of a bicycle.
