Art note

Have you seen this Vermeer? It was stolen (along with thirteen other fine paintings) from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston. Xymphora links to evidence, or at least to allegations, that four of the stolen paintings now are in the possession of the Eurotrashy Jean-Marie Messier, who was, until recently, the head of Vivendi-Universal.

Wasn't the ill-starred Hudson Hawk a Universal pic? That film deals with art theft...and it came out about the same time as the Boston job...
