POLICE have recovered a stolen painting that officials say may be an unsigned original by a famous Renaissance artist, or by one of his contemporaries. Investigations into the origin of the portrait remain ongoing but police think it may be the work of the 16th-century Italian painter Tintoretto, or someone close to him in the Venetian school of the time.
Police have arrested four men for allegedly stealing the painting at a Marbella restaurant where they met with the seller on June 14 to negotiate a deal.
