Hi everybody!
((((HUGS))))
That particular painting was stolen from the Isabella Stewart Gardiner Museum in Boston about 40 years ago, and has never been recovered.
There were other Rembrandts, some Degas, and others stolen in the heist, but this was the profoundest loss, as it was one the only paintings Rembrandt did involving the Sea..

Evening Lauren, Kathy.

The Gardiner Museum was a treasure and part of Boston’s heritage. I spent many hours there as a child. Mrs. Jack (Isabella Stewart Gardiner) had never been accepted by Boston’s Blue Blood society, but she was very rich, so she had the Palace imported from Venice, stone by stone, and rebuilt in Boston’s Back Bay. She filled it with the world’s best art, and left in her will that it was for The People of Boston to Enjoy.
So all us “Hoi polloi” got to enjoy Rembrandt and other wonderful art for free.
I think there is a small fee now, probably to pay for security.
