According to foreign media reports on April 18, two Van Gogh paintings stolen 17 years ago have finally returned to public attention.

In 2002, two famous works of Van Gogh, view of the sea at Scheveningen and assembly leaving the Reformed Church in Nuenen, were targeted by thieves and stolen from the van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

It is said that at that time, thieves used ladders to climb up the roof of the museum and successfully entered the museum and stole paintings.

After 14 years of searching, in 2016, the police finally found the whereabouts of the two paintings in a gang related to the Italian mafia.

Museum staff spent two years carefully inspecting the damage to the painting and completing the repair work. On the 17th, these two famous paintings, which had been stolen for many years, finally returned to the museum. " We are very happy that these great works of art have finally returned to where they belong. " Museum curator Axel Ruger said in a statement.

During the restoration of the painting, the staff found the signature of 'Vincent', but the museum believes that this is not Van Gogh's own handwriting.

The Seaview of sivaningen was seriously damaged during the theft. This work is one of Van Gogh's only paintings depicting the sea view of the Netherlands, so it is very precious. It is reported that the lower left corner of the painting was unfortunately lost in the process of theft, but Museum technicians successfully repaired the lost part using 3D technology. The museum speculated that the deformity of the painting was probably caused when the painting was removed from the frame.

Fortunately, the painting leaving the Church of neunen is well preserved and almost undamaged. The painting depicts the church where Van Gogh's father served as an administrator.

The two paintings have now been normally exhibited in the van Gogh Museum in the Netherlands, and the museum has also replaced the two paintings with new frames.
