Three Rembrandts, a Vermeer, a Manet and five drawings by Degas were stolen. Among them: "Storm on the Sea of Galilee," Rembrandt's only known seascape, and Vermeer's "The Concert."
I'm normally not a fan of paintings since they're typically boring portraits of dead noblemen that you just know the artist prettied up a bit in order to flatter them, or they're inaccurate, over dramatic war scenes.
That painting is incredible. It's dramatic, realistic, eye catching, and makes incredible use of composition and light to lead your eye around the picture and tell a story. Amazing.
