History's Most Stolen Painting

from History Shorts

For nearly six centuries, one masterpiece has captivated worshippers, mystified thieves, and survived war, fire, and disappearance more times than any other work of art. The Adoration of the Mystic Lamb, the legendary Ghent Altarpiece, is often called the world's most stolen painting—and its history reads like a thriller spanning medieval cathedrals, Napoleon's armies, Nazi art hunters, and modern-day mysteries.   SUPPORT THE SHOW: https://www.patreon.com/c/HistoryShortsPodcast ADVERTISE: https://www.historyshortspodcast.com/advertise  LEARN MORE: https://www.historyshortspodcast.com/ SPONSORED BY: https://www.podcastrepublic.net/get-it-now
