In 1990, in the early morning hours after St. Patrick’s Day, thieves disguised as Boston police officers gained access to Boston’s Isabella Stewart Gardner museum and successfully perpetrated the largest art heist in modern history. Among the thirteen priceless paintings stolen were works by Rembrandt, Degas and Manet. But none is more sorely missed than The Concert by Johannes Vermeer, one of only 35 surviving works by the beloved Dutch master. For those who loved these paintings, particularly the rare Vermeer, the theft felt almost personal.

To date, not a single painting stolen that day has been recovered.
