Spain's National Police have discovered two oil paintings from the 17th century.
The paintings belong to artist Lucas Valdés of the Seville school.
The works went missing about 100 years ago from a hospital church.
Investigations began in September 2025 after the Ministry of Culture alerted police about suspicious items at an auction house.
The paintings depict biblical scenes and were lent for an exhibition in 1929.
They were never returned after the exhibition.
