Renoir Heist at His Last Home | Johannesburg News

In a brazen three-minute heist on the French Riviera, thieves sliced through a fence and shattered a window at the Renoir Museum, stealing four prized paintings—including works once looted by the Nazis—before ditching two during their escape. Valued at nine million euros, the artworks are nearly impossible to sell on the black market, but authorities are racing nationwide to recover them. The museum, located in Renoir’s final home, now faces renewed calls for tighter security after the well-planned break-in—complete with an electric saw and a swift police response that forced the thieves to flee. Two paintings were found abandoned in the garden, while the remaining two remain missing, sparking fears of a repeat of last year’s Louvre heist.
