The Scream
That article tells an amazing story about another Oscar theft: Alice Brady’s best supporting actress award in 1938. Brady had a broken leg and did not attend the ceremony. When her name was announced as the winner an unidentified man went up on stage and accepted the ward on her behalf. He then walked off stage and disappeared with the award, which was never recovered. Brady said she had no idea who the man had been and she was issued a replacement.

The works have not been recovered. The museum initia...

The portrait is in oil on panel, probably from 1513 to 1514, and is by the Italian High Renaissance Old Master painter and architect Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino better known simply as Raphael.
The subject's identity is unverified, but many sch...
