About the Artist:
Anthony Melnikas (1927-2005) was born in Lithuania and lived most of his life in the United States. He served as a professor of Art History at the Ohio State University for 34 years. Melnikas is perhaps most notoriously known for a scandal involving the theft of 14th century documents from the Vatican library, in which he frequently had unsupervised access to over the span of 30 years. This scandal was an international one as Melnikas had smuggled multiple stolen pages across country lines. He was convicted in 1996 on eight charges involving six pages stolen from three different libraries.
