I found this news story most touching - apparently recently in between the walls at an Italian art gallery was found a long lost painting by artist Gustav Klimt. Klimt is perhaps most famous for his work entitled "The Kiss" or maybe many of his portraits of women and his use of gold leaf.
I just found it to be extremely touching, found again
'Portrait of a Lady' was stolen from the gallery nearly 23 years ago

So true, at first I thought this was one of those - seeing as I believe other works of Klimt were also lost during the Holocaust -- this however was stolen from a gallery some 20 something years ago, more recent. Still cool though it is found

@FayeHazel It’s great that it was found. Art thieves usually can’t show anymore their stolen art.

@DianneN Lol, I wonder why one would want to steal famous art, like you say, not like you could display it anywhere. lol
