A Dutch art detective has helped recover a missing Vincent van Gogh painting that was stolen from the Singer Laren Museum, east of Amsterdam, in March 2020.
I had never heard of an “art detective” before today, but that’s the coolest job title I’ve ever heard. It sounds very Indiana Jones-ey. (And yes, I understand it’s probably a lot of desk work)
According to his Wikipedia page he actually earns his living as an art historian and art consultant. Recovering lost and stolen art is just a hobby… And that’s definitely pretty Indiana Jones-esque.

The Art Detectives series is good. Not crime related, but interesting investigations of paintings
