Millions of dollars of art goes missing more often than you might think. Whether it\u2019s stolen from a major museum, gallery or a private collector\u2019s home, these well-known works have become the subject of art sleuthing the world over. What are some of the most notable stolen artworks that are yet to be recovered? The FBI<\/a> maintains a top 10 art crimes list that includes:<\/p>\n

Caravaggio<\/a>, Nativity with San Lorenzo and San Francesco. Stolen in October 1969 from Palermo, Italy. According to the FBI, this painting is worth roughly $20 million.<\/p>\n

\"Carvaggio<\/a>

Carvaggio – Sleeping Cupid<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Cezanne<\/a>

Renoir<\/a>, Madeleine Leaning on Her Elbow with Flowers in Her Hair. In 2011 this painting was stolen by armed thieves from a private collector\u2019s home in Houston.

Van Gogh<\/a>, View of the Sea at Scheveningen. Two thieves stole two the artist\u2019s works in December 2002 from the Vincent Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. Even though Dutch police found and convicted the suspected thieves, the paintings (valued at $30 million total) were never found.<\/p>\n

Maxfield Parnish, Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney Murals. Stolen in July 2002, these panels were taken from a West Hollywood gallery. With an estimated value of $4 million, these artworks are still missing.<\/p>\n

Other works on the FBI\u2019s top 10 list include 13 artworks that were stolen from Boston\u2019s Gardner Museum (including a Rembrandt and a Vermeer), several pieces stolen in 2006 from the Museu Chacara do Ceo in Rio de Janeiro (Monet\u2019s<\/a> Marine, Picasso\u2019s Dance, Matisse\u2019s Luxembourg Garden and Dali\u2019s Two Balconies) and Van Mieris\u2019 A Cavalier.<\/p>\n
