A statement from Dulwich Picture Gallery:

Last night intruders attempted to remove two paintings from Dulwich Picture Gallery’s 'Rembrandt’s Light’ exhibition.

The intruders were detected by the gallery’s robust security systems and, thanks to the immediate intervention of security staff and the swift response of the Metropolitan Police, the paintings were secured at the scene.

The exhibition and gallery was closed from 14–27 November, re-opening to the public on Thursday 28 November.
