Picasso masterpiece worth €600 thousand disappeared without a trace on its way to an exhibition in Spain. Police have launched a large-scale search for the iconic painting "Still Life with Guitar," which vanished under mysterious circumstances while being transported from the capital to Granada.

According to TUT.AZ, citing the Spanish publication Ideal and its sources, the disappearance was discovered during preparations for the exhibition "Still Life. Eternity of the Inert," organized by the Caja Granada Foundation, which opened last week. Cultural center employees were shocked when, upon unpacking the exhibits, they did not find one of the collection's main works. Despite the disappearance of the invaluable canvas, the organizers still decided to open the exhibition on the planned date, but without the famous "Still Life with Guitar."

The mysterious disappearance of the masterpiece, insured for an impressive sum, raises serious questions about the reliability of security systems during the transportation of world-class artworks. Spain's National Police have launched an intensive investigation, considering various theories—from a bold theft to accidental loss during transportation. The incident will deal a significant blow to the organizers' reputation and once again demonstrates the fragility of cultural heritage protection, even with high insurance coverage. The art community is closely following the investigation in hopes of the safe return of Picasso's priceless work.
