Five paintings by British artist Francis Bacon worth an estimated £23.25m have been stolen from the Madrid home of their owner.
Sources close to the investigation said the theft appeared to have been a highly-professional operation which took place while the owner was away, with the perpetrators disabling the alarm system.
The thieves, who left no trace of their handiwork, had tracked the owner's movements to ensure he did not return to his apartment to catch them red-handed, they said.
Spanish media quoted sources as saying the artwork, comprising portraits and landscapes, was stolen last June. It was not immediately clear why news of the theft was not made public until now.
It was also unclear exactly which paintings were involved but one contemporary art specialist told the paper they would be extremely difficult to sell.
'It is not at all easy to sell a Francis Bacon, large or small without that getting to the ears of those who pore over such a rarified sector,' said the expert, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Police from a specialist arts and antiques unit have opened an investigation into the heist.
