He’s known as the art world’s Indiana Jones and he’s been at it again.
Dutch art detective Arthur Brand has recovered two priceless stone reliefs, stolen from an ancient Spanish church, after tracing them to an English nobleman’s garden, north of London, where they were displayed as ornaments.
The artworks, one of which depicts John the Evangelist, author of one of the Gospels, were snatched in 2004 from a church in northern Spain.
Brand handed over the centuries-old carvings to the Spanish embassy in London at a private ceremony Monday.
