Two Renoir paintings remain missing after French Riviera museum burglary
Authorities said thieves entered through a window after cutting a fence and fled with two of four stolen works.
Two Renoir paintings remain missing after four works were stolen from a small museum on the French Riviera, according to authorities cited by France 24.
The thieves cut through a fence before climbing through a window on Tuesday. Two of the paintings were abandoned as they fled and were reportedly recovered.
The museum was identified in retrieved context as the Renoir Museum in Cagnes-sur-Mer, southern France, although that identification was not included in France 24’s supplied report.
The suspects’ identities and whereabouts remain unknown. The source material does not specify the titles or value of the missing paintings.
Christopher Marinello, a lawyer and founder of Art Recovery International, told France 24 that offering a reward for information could help recover the remaining works. His proposal was presented as expert commentary, rather than an announced official recovery strategy.
