THE HAGUE: Dutch police arrested a 58-year-old man Tuesday on suspicion of stealing two paintings by Vincent van Gogh and Frans Hals from small museums, saying it brought them closer to recovering both masterworks.
The man was held at his home in the central town of Baarn over last year’s thefts of Van Gogh’s 1884 work “Parsonage Garden at Nuenen in Spring”, and 17th century painter Hals’s “Two Laughing Boys”.
