In 1945, Churchill and Montgomery crossed the Rhine, their armies seizing victory but also leaving behind scenes of looting and pillaging.

Meanwhile, "The Miseries of War" series takes us back to 1633 when farmhouse plundering was depicted on oil-painted copper canvases. Heliodorus expelled from the temple painting showcases an ancient tale where even sacred places were not spared from acts of plunder. Pieter Bruegel's "Everyman, " created around 1558, presents a thought-provoking piece highlighting how greed can lead individuals astray. As we explore further into history, we encounter robbery during Gotha's Seven Years' War (1756-1763), reminding us that war often breeds opportunistic thieves amidst chaos. Caricatures and hidden silhouettes reveal political satire during Lafayette's era in eighteenth-century France. Rich merchants alongside Russian noblemen are seen rummaging through yards filled with rubbish - an intriguing glimpse into their lives beyond opulence.
