Renoir Heist Leaves Two Masterpieces Missing | Little Rock News

Art thieves struck the Renoir Museum on the French Riviera, stealing four paintings but ditching two en route—both recovered in the garden. The heist, executed with precision and a fence-cutting entrance, triggered alarms at 6 AM, prompting police to arrive within five minutes and scare off the culprits. The missing masterpieces, “Portrait of Madame Colonna Romano” and “Young Woman at the Well,” are valued at $10.5 million. The museum, housed in Renoir’s final residence, was shut down all day as authorities launched an investigation. With France already reeling from a recent Louvre jewel heist, the mayor is demanding nationwide museum security upgrades—a blow to art lovers and regional prestige alike.
