Rembrandt's Self-portrait with Beret and Gathered Shirt,

Another important work of art that was thankfully recovered, this $37 million (£28.7m) self-portrait by the Dutch master was taken from the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, along with Renoir's A Young Parisienne and Conversation, during an armed raid in December 2000. The Rembrandt self-portrait was discovered in Copenhagen in 2005, while the Renoir painting cropped up in Los Angeles a year later.
