Famous Winston Churchill portrait returns to Ottawa after international art caper

A stolen portrait of Winston Churchill that was swapped with a dodgy forgery during the pandemic has returned to its rightful place, after two Ottawa police detectives travelled to Rome to retrieve it. Renowned photographer Yousuf Karsh snapped the iconic portrait in 1941 in the Speaker’s office just after Churchill delivered a rousing wartime address to Canadian lawmakers. Toward the end of his life, Karsh signed and gifted the portrait to the Chateau Laurier hotel, where he had lived and worked. (Nov. 15, 2024)
