Six years after it was stolen off the walls of a Scottish castle, Madonna of the Yarnwinder is back on display for arts enthusiasts to enjoy. The National Gallery of Scotland in Edinburgh unveiled the piece, the only painting by Leonardo da Vinci in Scotland, now gemstone of the Gallery’s Italian Masters collection.

Michael Clarke, the gallery director, welcomed the painting as a “wonderful Christmas present,” The Times reported.

Madonna of the Yarnwinder was stolen in 2003 from the walls of Drumlanrig Castle, the Dumfriesshire home of the Dukes of Buccleuch. The painting, worth an estimated £50 million ($81 million), was on the FBI’s 10 world’s most wanted stolen artworks, until it was finally found in 2007 in the offices of a law firm in Glasgow, just weeks after Duke’s death. Eight men were charged in connection with the heist and will stand trial next year.

Clarke was called by police to authenticate the painting right after it was recovered. He told The Herald: “I was delighted to authenticate it, but I hope I would never have to do something like that again. It had all the old labels on it and I knew it was the Madonna straightaway. I had seen it when we had it as the centrepiece of an exhibition in 1992 and recognised it straightaway.”

The 10th Duke of Buccleuch and the trustees of the Buccleuch Heritage Trust lent the painting to the gallery, which will be displayed there for at least two years. Mr Clarke said the painting was undamaged and did not require restoration. On the contrary, it now looks more polished than ever in its new 16th century frame.
