René Alphonse van den Berghe (Nivelles, 1940 – 19 June 2020), also known as Erik the Belgian (Erik el Belga) has been described by Spain’s Policía Nacional as "an art dealer, restorer, painter, writer and international thief". According to art crime researchers, he was one of the most prolific art thieves in Europe during the 20th century. Between 1977 and 1982, he has admitted to committing thirty robberies, though in likelihood, that number is likely higher. Burglarising primarily Spanish churches and monasteries, alone or with others, he is believed to have been responsible for the theft of thousands of religious artworks.
