CCTV shows Matisse heist suspects with stolen artworks in Brazil


Two armed men have stolen at least 13 paintings from a library in São Paulo, Brazil, including eight engravings by famed French artist Henri Matisse.

Authorities said on Monday that they had found the “escape vehicle” and one of the suspects had been arrested.

Thieves reportedly entered the library by the main entrance on Sunday morning, and left by the same route, heading towards the nearest metro station.

The engravings stolen from Biblioteca Mário de Andrade formed part of a joint exhibition with the São Paulo Museum of Modern Art.
