A 1778 painting by Francisco de Goya, “Children With Cart,” has been stolen near Scranton, Penn., on its way to the Guggenheim Museum of Art. It was to be included in the exhibit “Spanish Painting from El Greco to Picasso: Time, Truth, and History,” opening Friday. The painting, which depicts four young children playing with musical instruments, was en route from the Toledo Museum of Art in Ohio, which had lent the painting to the Guggenheim.

The painting is valued at $1.1 million. The FBI has launched an investigation, and a reward of up to $50,000 has been offered by the painting’s insurers.
