Stolen Van Gogh works return home

The Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam welcomed home two paintings by the Dutch master on Tuesday, more than 14 years after they were ripped off the museum's wall in a nighttime heist.

"They're back," says museum director Axel Rueger.

He calls their return one of the "most special days in the history of our museum".

The paintings, the 1882 View of the Sea at Scheveningen, and 1884-85 work Congregation Leaving the Reformed Church in Nuenen, were discovered last year by Italian police investigating suspected Italian mobsters for cocaine trafficking.

It wasn't an easy find. The two paintings were wrapped in cotton sheets, stuffed in a box and hidden behind a wall in a toilet, says Gianluigi D'Alfonso of the Italian financial police, who was on hand at the museum to watch the ceremonial unveiling.

They were found in a farmhouse near Naples as Italian police seized some 20 million euros ($21.59 million) worth of assets, including villas, apartments and even a small airplane.

Investigators contend the assets are linked to two Camorra drug kingpins, Mario Cerrone and Raffaele Imperiale.

"After years shrouded in darkness, they can now shine again," Dutch Minister for Education, Culture and Science Jet Bussemaker said as an orange screen slid away to reveal the two paintings behind a glass wall.

Italy's Interior Minister Angelino Alfano says last year the paintings were "considered among the artworks most searched for in the world, on the FBI's list of the Top 10 art crimes".

They are now back on display at the museum before being taken to its conservation studio for repair, although they suffered remarkably little damage as thieves who had clambered up a ladder and smashed a window to get into the museum in 2002 ripped them out of their frames and fled.

"It is not only a miracle that the works have been recovered, but it's even more miraculous almost that they are in relatively unharmed condition," Rueger says.

The two small works are not typical of Van Gogh's later and better-known works, but are still vital pieces for the museum's collection, Rueger says.

Rueger says the paintings are now back for good at a museum, which is home to dozens of works by Van Gogh, whose paintings fetch millions of dollars on the rare occasions they come up for auction.
