Arthur Brand is a private detective specializing in tracking down missing works of art. Recently, he got his hands on an early painting by Vincent Van Gogh, stolen in 2020 in Holland.
At first glance, you might think he just came from a supermarket. But in his bag is a treasure: a Van Gogh painting stolen in 2020 from a Dutch museum. This man is a detective specializing in tracking down missing works of art. The loot of the day is his pride. “It’s an early work by Vincent Van Gogh. She is back. It took 1,300 days to find her.”, says Arthur Brand. The painting was stolen during a spectacular heist, filmed by the museum’s video surveillance.
The secret of these finds
The thief had broken down the showroom door in the middle of the night. A few minutes later, he had the painting under his arm. Arthur Brand remains evasive about how he got his hands on this masterpiece. “As we risk serious sanctions when we hold this type of work, the thief cannot do anything with it. All we have to do is wait for someone to come see me and say: ‘You can take it off me'”explains this art and treasure hunting enthusiast.
