In one of the most significant art thefts in recent memory, three paintings by French masters Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Paul Cézanne, and Henri Matisse were stolen from a museum in northern Italy. Details of how the heist was carried out, or the specific works taken, remain scarce, but the theft of three Impressionist and Post-Impressionist masterpieces from a single institution is certain to trigger an international investigation. Art crime experts have long warned that European museums remain vulnerable targets, particularly smaller regional institutions.
