Recovered Paintings Back on Display in Frans Hals Museum
Cornelis Dusart: Het drinkgelag, doek, 48 x 56 cm, ca 1700.



HAARLEM.- The five paintings that were stolen from the Frans Hals Museum in 2002 and that were found back last weekend by the Noord-Brabant police in a house in ‘s-Hertogenbosch, will be back on display in the museum from 17 until 28 september.

Three of the paintings show damage, at least to the frames. Three of the recovered artworks were the property of the City of Haarlem, one of the Netherlands Institute for Cultural Heritage ICN, and one had a private owner.

The five stolen works stem from the 17th century and belong to the so-called “peasant-paintings”. Two of the paintings are by Adriaen van Ostade, one by Jan Steen, one by Cornelis Bega and one by Cornelis Dusart.
