Two paintings by impressionist Pierre-Auguste Renoir were stolen from the Musée Marmottan Monet in Paris, France, during a break-in early Wednesday morning. The stolen artworks are “Judith” and “Jeune fille à la rose,” both dating from the late 19th century. Authorities are currently investigating the incident, but details regarding the method of entry and the timeline remain scarce. This is not the first time the museum, famed for its collection of Monet's water lilies, has been targeted by thieves; it was previously robbed in 1985. The Musée Marmottan Monet has been closed temporarily as investigators examine the scene and assess the extent of the loss. French authorities have launched a nationwide search for the paintings, recognizing their significant cultural and monetary value. Security at museums across France is under renewed scrutiny following this latest theft.
