A remarkable turn in art history unfolded when Van Gogh's "View of the Sea at Scheveningen" and "Congregation Leaving the Reformed Church in Nuenen" were stolen in 2002. They resurfaced triumphantly in Italy in 2016, adding a compelling chapter to their storied journey.

Vincent van Gogh's visual language possibly bore the imprint of his epilepsy treatment. Medications such as digitalis, prevalent in his time, could have induced visual alterations, perhaps shaping the profound color palettes and visionary distortions evident in artwork like "Starry Night."
