In a heist lasting less than three minutes, thieves nabbed paintings by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Paul Cézanne, and Henri Matisse from a small museum in northern Italy, according to local police.
On the night of March 22 and early morning of March 23, multiple suspects reportedly entered the campus of the Magnani Rocca Foundation, a museum dedicated to the collection of the late critic and collector Luigi Magnani, about 12 miles outside of Parma.
The thieves grabbed Renoir’s “Les Poissons” (1917), Cézanne’s “Cup and Plate of Cherries” (c. 1890), and Matisse’s “Odalisque on the Terrace” (1922), together reportedly worth an estimated $10 million.
