Review: This is a Robbery: The World’s Biggest Art Heist, directed by Colin Barnicle. After dreaming for many years of visiting Boston’s Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, I was surprised by its dour presence when I finally arrived on its doorstep. The original building presented a rather austere face to the world, its stolid facade dwarfing an unobtrusive entrance. However, once inside, my every longed-for fantasy was realised. The internal courtyard glowed with light sucked down from the glass ceiling. Palms and exotic ferns flourished in this hothouse environment.

His is a name often heard as one of the two thieves who pulled off the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum heist in 1990. He would have been around 50 years old at that time. By 2013, the FBI asserted that the two men who were responsible for the theft were dead. But officials declined to identify the men or suggest what their motive might have been. The idea that Donati was one of those men began to gain credibility thanks to the word of former associates Myles Connor and Vincent Ferrara. This was in large part through two books: my book Master Thieves and Connor’s memoir The Art of The Heist. Both detail how getting Connor and Ferrara out of jail may have been the motive for the robbery. ....
