Focus on Beach at Scheveningen in Stormy Weather and analyze the Theft and recovery.
Beach at Scheveningen in Stormy Weather had been held by the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam since 1989 but was stolen, along with Van Gogh's later painting of Congregation Leaving the Reformed Church in Nuenen, on 7 December 2002.  It remained missing for over 13 years, until it was recovered  in January 2016 by the Italian Guardia di Finanza, together with the other stolen work, at Castellammare di Stabia near Naples.  Its recovery, without its original frame, from under the kitchen floor of a villa associated with Camorra gang boss Raffaele Imperiale was not announced until September 2016. It was subsequently returned to the Van Gogh Museum and after some restoration went back on display in March 2017.
