What makes it so exceptional to the paintings stolen in 2002 the Museum Van Gogh, "View of the beach of Scheveningen" and "Congregation leaving the reformed church in Nuenen"? question the BBC.
Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890) is considered as the greatest Dutch artist after Rembrandt.
The beach of Scheveningen fear the storm was one of only two seascapes, which he painted while he lived in the Netherlands.
The oil painting highlights a sparkling sea, and agitated under a stormy sky, and was painted in 1882, when I lived in The Hague.
The protestant church in Nuenen (1884) was created for the mother of Van Gogh, but also for his father, who had been appointed pastor of this church in 1882.
When his father died, Van Gogh added parishioners, including some women with cloaks of mourning.
Van Gogh committed suicide in France in 1890.
The theft at the Van Gogh Museum was one of a series of raids that rocked the art world.
In 2004 two masterpieces by Edvard Much "The Scream" and "Madonna" were stolen by armed men who stormed the Museum of Munch in Oslo.
Several individuals were imprisoned, and the paintings were recovered after a hard work detective in 2006.

In 2012, seven art works were stolen from the Museum Kunsthal of Rotterdam, including paintings by Picasso, Monet and Matisse.
