In 1992, men dressed in Boston police uniforms walked into the Isabel Stewart-Garner Museum of Art.

They walked out with a dozen masterpiece paintings and a few artifacts.

It is the largest art heist in history.

The paintings by such authors as Manet and Degas and Vermeer and three by Rembrandt remain missing.

And the crime remains unsolved.

In the Dutch room of the Gardner Museum is a large and-or-nate but empty frame.

It is there hanging on the wall with nothing behind it.

And what was behind it was one of those Rembrandt paintings,

the painting of Christ and the storm at the sea of Galilee.

The painting depicts Christ in the twelve disciples.

As typical of Rembrandt paintings, there is the play of light and darkness.

There is just a little bit of light in the top left side trying to push through the clouds,

but the rest of the painting is enveloped in darkness.

The mast is torn, waves are battering the sides of the ships,

and all hands of the disciples are at work, holding onto this lash or this rope.

And there in the middle, Jesus is calm.

Two of the disciples are pleading with him to save them.

One of the disciples is hunched over the boat, total desperation across his face.

And then there is one figure who was looking out at us, the viewers of the painting.

He's got one hand holding onto a rope, and the other hand holding his hat, it's Rembrandt.

He painted himself in the picture, and Rembrandt, like his painting, is in the wind.

Rembrandt was a golden age Dutch painter.
