An interesting read with a rather predictably sad ending.

These art theft stories are always romanced but I read this as a tail of a pathological narcissistic sociopath bent on selfishly possessing what are public treasures. The drive to take away the pleasure of the art from all for their own, private onanistic satisfaction.
