Earlier this week, the Brooklyn Museum announced that it would be hosting two Rembrandt masterworks from a private collection. Following this news, Serbian police recovered Rembrandt’s Portrait of the Father (circa 1630), valued at 2.8 million euros ($3.7 million), which was stolen from a museum in Novi Sad, Serbia, in 2006.

Four suspects were arrested in Sremska Mitrovica, Serbia. Armed robbers also took a Rubens, a Francesco Mola and a piece by an unknown artist during the same heist and those works have not been found.

Loaned from a private New York collection, Rembrandt's Self-Portrait with Shaded Eyes (1634) and Portrait of Anthonie Coopal (1635), along with other 17th century Dutch works, will be exhibited at the Brooklyn Museum from March 18.
