The Singer Laren museum in the town of Laren, just outside Amsterdam, said Van Gogh’s “The Parsonage Garden at Nuenen in Spring” was stolen in an overnight raid.

The painting — created by the Dutch master in 1884 — was on loan from another art institution, the Groninger Museum in the city of Groningen. A police statement said that the theft took place at around 3.15 a.m. local time, and that intruders entered the premises by breaking through a glass door.

“I am shocked and unbelievably pissed off,” museum director Jan Rudolph de Lorm said during a press conference Monday afternoon. “It is very bad for the Groninger Museum. It’s also very bad for Singer.”

“But above all it is horrible for all of us, because art is there to be seen and shared by all of us, for society as a whole, to bring enjoyment, to bring inspiration, and also to bring comfort. Especially in this difficult time,” he added.
