The show also features a fantasy collection of famously stolen masterpieces, including Vermeer's *The Concert*, Rembrandt's *Christ in the Storm on the Sea of Galilee*, and Manet's *Chez Tortoni*—all taken in the 1990 Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum heist—along with Van Gogh's *Poppy Flowers*, Cézanne's *View of Auvers-sur-Oise*, Modigliani's *Woman with a Fan*, and Caravaggio's *Nativity*.
