Art Thief

I just finished reading a great article in this month's Smithsonian magazine about the art which was stolen by the Nazis and packed away into salt mines and underground bunkers during World War II. There was a small group of Allied Forces, mostly from the United States Army known as the "Monument Men" who found and did the research to return 4 million pieces of art and artifacts. It was a fascinating story and amazing how great works of art survived. The Mona Lisa was moved 6 times and hidden in the countryside in different castles! Reading this article inspired me to make this Artist Trading Card.....
