The portrait of Wolfgang William of Palatinatos NeoDurg was stolen in 1951 by the Botton mansion, the residence of Duke of Bekleo and Queensbury.
An art historian from the University of Exeter solved the 70 -year -old mystery about the theft of an original work by Flemish painter Anthony Van Dick, from a mansion in Northamptonshire in the United Kingdom.
The portrait of Wolfgang William of Palatinatos NeoDurg was stolen in 1951 by the Botton mansion, the residence of Duke of Bekleo and Queensbury. It was part of a collection – described as “puzzle from which a central piece” – sketches, 17th -century oil paintings that adorned the property since 1682.
But the disappearance of the artwork was noted only in 1957, when Mary Montagia Douglas Scott of Bekleu and Queensberry visited one of the Harvard University galleries – and saw it among exhibits.
