.jpg&w=3840&q=75)
Thieves broke into the Renoir Museum in the French Riviera early Tuesday morning and handed over four paintings. They managed to steal three of them before fleeing, after being spotted by police during their escape attempt. The museum is home to a large collection of Renoir paintings and is located in the artist's residence where he lived until his death in 1919. It houses approximately 13 paintings, around 40 sculptures, and other items. This incident comes amid a rise in art thefts across Europe, with Europol warning of an increase in museum robberies valued at hundreds of millions.
