Vincent van Gogh's 1884 painting "Parsonage Garden at Neunen in Spring" which was stolen from the Singer Laren Museum in Laren, March 30 2020.
The thieves put it in a Van and went Go.
Criminals. Politicians. Seems to be a lot of people taking advantage of the various COVID-19 shutdowns.
Good one! But, I don’t care for the painting.
Shoddy security- forced glass doors open. Wow. Why didn’t they lock up the painting. Have steel doors across the glass door.

Its modern title is “Social Distancing”.

You’re just saying that to deflect suspicion away from you.
There's already a meme out there for that.
The painting sure doesn't look like Spring. Winter more like, so no wonder it had to Gogh.
Basically, all's right with the universe.
Did they go Dutch?
*Somebody's* gonna pay for that..
It’s pretty dark but no doubt worth a bundle - I’ve always liked the one he painted of his bedroom.
A couple of years ago the local hospitals had a poster featuring a Van Gogh self-portrait wearing a face mask with the words “Cover Your Cough”. But it only really works if you pronounce his name the way the English do.
Stupid thieves. What will they do with the painting?
Sell it? Which person with the money will buy it knowing that it’s a stolen valuable piece of art?
The list is long.
Should be considered looters and treated as such.
RE: The list is long.
Well, if so, this saying applies to them: “A fool and his money...” ( you know the rest ).
There was most likely a purchase agreement before it was stolen.
This article identifies a different painting.

All the best “journalists” are fighting the “good” fight against Trump.
See post 19 for (perhaps?) the correct painting.
