Police have recovered a painting by Swedish writer and painter August Strindberg that was stolen from a Stockholm museum two years ago, and arrested two suspects, authorities said Friday.

Police found the 19th Century painting “Svartsjukans Natt,” or “Jealousy’s Night,” during a raid of a home in a Stockholm suburb late Thursday, a police spokesman said.

The painting was stolen from Stockholm’s Strindberg Museum in a daylight heist in February 2006, when three thieves removed it from the wall while distracting museum staff.
