The 7 Most Famous Works Of Art Lost Forever

Odds and Sods
The problem with some of the most wonderful works of art made through history is their irreplaceability. The Colossus of Rhodes, destroyed in an earthquake; Vermeer's The Concert (picture above) and John Banvard's Mississippi River Panorama, among others, came in a time when art couldn't be replicated, and so their uniqueness is gone for all eternity.

More:
Great works of art have been burned, torn and stolen, lost to the public and never seen again.
Priceless works of art by Picasso, Matisse, Monet, Gauguin may have been burned by a mother trying to protect her son from being charged with art robbery.
