“Spring Garden” – Van Gogh, a painting stolen by COVID-19 – Laren, the Netherlands

A painting on Loan to the Singer museum from the Groninger Museum was stolen overnight. The painting – “The Parsonage Garden at Nuenen in Spring 1884” by Vincent Van Gogh now cannot be seen by the community and may not be seen again, removing a valuable piece of history and culture from people when they are potentially unable to have gotten the chance to see it due to coronavirus. The thieves smashed a glass door and ran off with the painting before security was able to find them.
