Famous Paintings of Vincent van Gogh - Sea view at Scheveningen (1882)

Italian police have recovered two Van Gogh paintings stolen in a dramatic raid on an Amsterdam museum in 2002. They said the works were recovered from the Naples mafia. The Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam said the works were found during an "extensive and ongoing investigation" by Italian prosecutors and organized crime officials. The paintings were taken when thieves used ladders and sledgehammers to break into the museum. They were eventually found wrapped in cloth and kept in a safe in a house in the picturesque seaside town of Castellammare di Stabia, near Pompeii. The works were among millions of euros worth of assets seized from a Camorra organized crime group linked to the cocaine trade, Italian reports said. Months earlier, police arrested several suspected drug traffickers who had invested the proceeds in Dubai, Spain and the Isle of Man. They are believed to be linked to one of the largest mafia clans in the Scampia area north of Naples. (Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam - Oil on canvas, 34.5 x 51 cm)
