When
you hear names such as Rembrandt or Degas, what comes to mind? Many would look
on and think of the beautiful and amazing artistic expressions created by
artistic geniuses. Others would ponder how much these works would be worth, and
wishing they owned them.
Many
of those who do see the dollar signs however, would still proudly display their
priceless pieces of artistic history. There would be fleeting moments when the
sight of one of these masterpieces would draw the viewer into a land of
creativity and beauty, with not a single conscious or unconscious thought
revolving around money.
Now,
let’s pretend for a moment that you do own one or more of these creations. I
can only imagine how amazing that would feel. Now, imagine you go to your
conservatory, because everyone who has art has a conservatory, right?
You go
there to admire your priceless collection, only to discover the worst violation
imaginable. Some person or persons has broken into your home and cut the
canvases out of their frames leaving you with a macabre scene of tattered
canvas remnants and empty gilded frames.
