Venezuelan authorities hold the package containing Henri Matisse’s painting “Odalisque in Red Pants” upon its arrival in Caracas from the US, on July 7, 2014. The painting, which was stolen more than a decade ago from the Museo de Arte Contemporaneo de Caracas and later recovered in an FBI sting, was turned over Monday to Venezuelan authorities.
