The Norway Post - Stolen religious painting recovered

Stolen religious painting recovered

The famous Renaissance painting worth NOK 20 million which was stolen from the Larvik Church in Vestfold early Sunday, has been recovered, apparently unharmed. One man has been arrested.

A spokesman for the Vestfold police precinct said Wednesday evening that the painting had been found in a van, and was now in police hands.

One person has been arrested, charged with having participated in the theft, police said. They were not willing to give more details at this time.

The painting by Lucas Cranach (1472-1553), a personal friend of Martin Luther, has hung in the Larvik Church for 330 years.

The painting titled \"Let the small children come to me\", and was painted 450 years ago.

Stolen painting, from a church..

 Someone broke in and stole  this Renaissance painting, from a church (Larvik Kirke) in Larvik (Norway), it's painted by Lucas Cranach "the elder" and is painted on a wooden board.

The value of the painting is about 20.000.000,- NOK (2.836.000,- USD)

It don't mater if it's a church, a mosque or a synagogue.. You just don't steel from these kind of buildings..

It's been on the same wall in the same church from the day the church was open in year 1666 !!
