France, they steal four paintings from the Musée Renoir and flee: the works are worth 9 million

Four paintings were stolen from the Musée Renoir in Cagnes-sur-Mer, France, during a brief early morning break-in. The theft occurred around 5:48 AM, and although police arrived within five minutes, the suspects had already fled. One painting was abandoned during their escape and later recovered by authorities. The stolen artworks are estimated to be worth approximately €9 million. The museum, located in the villa where Impressionist painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir spent his final years, houses a collection of his works along with other historical artifacts. Investigators are examining surveillance footage to identify the perpetrators, though no suspects have been confirmed yet. The method of entry remains unclear, but reports suggest the thieves may have forced a fence and exploited a change in guard patrol.

Four paintings by Renoir stolen from the museum of Cagnes-sur-Mer on the Côte d'Azur

Four paintings by Pierre-Auguste Renoir were stolen from the Renoir Museum in Cagnes-sur-Mer on the French Riviera during a break-in late at night. The thieves, identified via surveillance cameras, fled the scene but abandoned one of the artworks during their escape. The mayor of Cagnes-sur-Mer, Bryan Masson, estimated the stolen pieces’ value at around €9 million. The museum, located near Nice, was built in 1960 on the site of Renoir’s final home and houses personal items, furniture, and artwork belonging to the artist. This theft follows a series of high-profile museum robberies in France, including the 2022 theft of eight royal jewels from the Louvre, which remain unrecovered.

Four paintings worth 9 million have been stolen from the Musée Renoir in France.

Due dei quattro quadri rubati al Museo Renoir di Cagnes-sur-Mer, in Provenza-Alpi-Costa Azzurra, sono stati recuperati dopo essere stati abbandonati dai ladri nei giardini del museo durante la fuga. Il sindaco Bryan Masson ha annunciato la notizia, indicando che i due dipinti sono stati identificati grazie alle telecamere di sorveglianza. Gli autori del furto, che hanno causato un grave danno al patrimonio culturale locale, sono sotto indagine della polizia giudiziaria. Il museo, costruito nel 1960 sulla casa ultima di Pierre-Auguste Renoir, custodisce una collezione di 13 dipinti dell'artista e altri oggetti storici. L'episodio si colloca in un contesto di aumento dei furti d'arte in Europa, con esempi recenti come il furto al Louvre e al museo Lalique.
