Spanish police say they have recovered the fourth of five paintings by Irish-born painter Francis Bacon that were stolen from a Madrid apartment in 2015. A police statement Thursday said the 1989 painting of a man's head, titled on the back as 'Study for Portrait of José Capelo,' is valued at $5.4 million. It was recovered following the arrest in February of two people suspected of having received two of the five works by Bacon.
Bacon often visited Madrid, where he spent time studying old master paintings in the Prado Museum. He died in the Spanish capital in 1992, aged 82.
