The Duke

In 1961 Goya’s portrait of the Duke of Wellington was stolen from the National Gallery.  It had only been there for a few weeks.  British authorities suspected the worst, clearly an international criminal mastermind had stolen our national treasure.  It was lost for four and a half years, then turned up again.  Where?  In the back of a wardrobe.

Who took it?  How?  “We grabbed it and ran.”
