Fransico Goya’s ‘sad premonitions of what has to happen’ proved correct, if 200 years early—his small engraving by that name, judged “invaluable” by collectors, was stolen Friday from a temporary exhibition at a Bogotá museum.
“Los tristes presentimientos de lo que ha de acontecer,” which had been in the country just 15 days, was part of the exposition “The Disasters of the War,” and is considered on of the most emblematic works of the famous Spanish artist, reported El Pais.
“The message is: please return it, this is a huge embarrassment for Bogotá,” Ana María Alzate, director of the la Fundación Gilberto Alzate Avendaño, where the engraving was displayed, told the Associated Press.
