This archival record, issued in 2006, documents the 1984 return of art stolen from Budapest’s Museum of Fine Arts. An MTI photograph dated 25 January 1984 shows conservators unpacking a recovered Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo painting, one of seven works stolen on 5 November 1983. Its caption records the painting’s recovery in Greece on 20 January 1984. This is historical documentation, not a new recovery.
