    by testsuphomeAdmin
    The Art Thief: A True Story of Love, Crime, and a Dangerous Obsession by Michael Finkel tells the riveting true story of Stéphane Breitwieser, one of the most prolific art thieves in history. Over the course of several years, Breitwieser stole hundreds of priceless works from museums across Europe, all while evading capture. Finkel explores the complex motivations behind Breitwieser's crimes, including his obsessive love for art and the impact of his actions on his personal life. The book examines themes of obsession, passion, and the thin line between art and crime.

    The chap­ter titled “Image Cred­its” serves as a com­pre­hen­sive list of art­works fea­tured in the book *The Art Thief*. It metic­u­lous­ly details var­i­ous pieces of art from dif­fer­ent peri­ods and artists, pro­vid­ing essen­tial infor­ma­tion such as the title of each art­work, the artist’s name, the year it was cre­at­ed, and its cur­rent loca­tion or col­lec­tion.

    The chap­ter opens with an illus­tra­tion cred­it­ed to Corneille de Lyon titled *Madeleine de France*, dat­ed 1536, sourced from Bridge­man Images. Fol­low­ing that, the list con­tin­ues with sig­nif­i­cant works such as *Adam and Eve* by Georg Petel from 1627, housed in the Col­lec­tion of the City of Antwerp, and a tobac­co box by Jean-Bap­tiste Isabey craft­ed around 1805 housed at the Valais His­to­ry Muse­um.

    Addi­tion­al notable works fea­tured include *Sibylle of Cleves* by Lucas Cranach the Younger, a still life by Jan van Kessel the Elder from 1676, and *Fes­ti­val of Mon­keys* by David Teniers the Younger, cre­at­ed around 1630 and cur­rent­ly housed in Musée Thomas Hen­ry, France. The chap­ter main­tains a rhythm as it shifts through var­i­ous artis­tic peri­ods, show­cas­ing a tapes­try of cre­ativ­i­ty and his­tor­i­cal sig­nif­i­cance.

    The list con­tin­ues with exquis­ite pieces like *Alle­go­ry of Autumn*, orig­i­nal­ly attrib­uted to Jan Brueghel the Elder but lat­er reat­trib­uted to Hierony­mus Franck­en II, and *Sleep­ing Shep­herd* by François Bouch­er. Each entry unveils a glimpse of cul­tur­al her­itage and the artis­tic lega­cy pre­served in muse­ums, reflect­ing both local and inter­na­tion­al influ­ences.

    More­over, renowned pieces such as *Pietà* by Christoph Schwarz and *The Apothe­cary* by Willem van Mieris are includ­ed, round­ing out a diverse col­lec­tion that spans cen­turies. Each art­work men­tioned in the chap­ter res­onates with his­tor­i­cal, artis­tic, and cul­tur­al impor­tance, empha­siz­ing the metic­u­lous care tak­en to curate such col­lec­tions in art muse­ums and gal­leries world­wide.

    In sum­ma­ry, this chap­ter is a fun­da­men­tal acknowl­edge­ment of the artists and their works, under­scor­ing the rich­ness of art his­to­ry pre­sent­ed through­out the book. It serves as a crit­i­cal ref­er­ence point for read­ers explor­ing the artis­tic ref­er­ences made with­in the nar­ra­tive of *The Art Thief*.
