Such a Great Mystery: "The Boston art Theft"

Hi Friends I am back with my new post. First tell me how life is going on, I hope “All Is Well”. Today’s post is about a strange mastery which backs to ages in 19th century.














Now we are going to talk about a biggest unsolved mystery “Boston Art Theft”. In my opinion it is a very strange thing to know about. It has been exactly 20 years on; the “Boston art theft” remains one of the greatest crime mysteries. Don’t know where the masterpieces are lying now. This “Boston art theft” is also an act of appalling cultural vandalism and an artistic tragedy.

Largest Theft:

Let us clearly understand what exactly happened and what all things which have ever seen again.

It was built by Boston heiress Isabella Stewart Gardner in 1903, the museum was modeled on a 15th Century Venetian palazzo. The Dutch Room of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston is lined with green silk wallpaper, from terracotta cobbled floor to oak timbered ceiling.
There so many beautiful things which will hold you for a long time in the museum especially in the first floor gallery. It is the empty frames that stop you in your tracks.

In the early hours of 18 March 1990, both paintings were ripped from their frames.
One, an ornate gilded rectangle framing nothing but green wallpaper, once held Storm on the Sea of Galilee, Rembrandt's only known seascape and, next to the window, there is an easel on which was propped The Concert, one of only 36 Vermeer paintings known to exist. They disappeared, along with two other works by Rembrandt, five sketches by Degas, a Manet painting, a landscape by Flink and - bizarrely - a bronze finial from a Napoleonic battle flag.

Thirteen art works were stolen. The thieves were let into the museum through two sets of locked security doors at 1:24AM, 18 March 1990. It is believed that they spent exactly 81 minutes inside the gallery. A reward of $5 million (£3.28m) has been offered for information leading to the return of the works of art in good condition.


Investigation:

Dressed as Boston cops and sporting false moustaches, the thieves spent well over an hour in the Gardner galleries after handcuffing the hapless guards both young music students doing part-time work - in the basement. "It may technically have been 18 March 1990 but it was just after midnight as St Patrick's Day celebrations were still going on. And that's a big, noisy night in an Irish city like Boston," says Hill.

In the Frame:

Hill has been following a network of leads, many provided by underworld contacts, for 16 years. He says they all add up to one name - Irish American mob boss James "Whitey" Bulger.
There is also a note on the Bureau website reminding us that - as Whitey is wanted for 19 murders, has a violent temper and carries a knife - we should not approach him.

So what would a man suspected of murder want with the paintings?

Mob Bob James "Whitey" Bulger is second on the FBI's most wanted list:

The Bottom Line:
