Last November I went to the bucolic Renoir museum, once his house, at Cagnes-sur-Mer and was struck by the uncertain provenance of so many of the pictures, including the two that have been stolen, as I have written for @ObserverUK below 👇
The Renoir heist reopens a dark chapter in French history
The two artworks stolen last week had previously made their way into the hands of Nazis during wartime, and illuminate one of the catastrophes of 20th-century Europe

Thank you so much to @TheEconomist for this kind review 💫
Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s portraits might seem like pictures of privilege, but they mask a tragic fate. You will not look at a 19th-century portrait the same way again economist.com/culture/2026/0…

The Renoir Girls is an instant New York Times bestseller! Thrilled and so grateful to the brilliant team at S&S/Atria in the US and UK and to the descendants of those beautiful girls who told me their stories.

I loved writing this piece about the origins of The Renoir Girls for @voguemagazine with thanks to @ChloeSchama ♥️
A Paris meeting, a Renoir painting, and a submerged history of antisemitism all came to the fore in research for 'The Renoir Girls.' vogue.com/article/renoir-gir…

Thanks so much @guywalters @independent for this wonderful piece
Author @CatherineOstler uses one of Renoir’s most celebrated works to carve out a narrative that moves between intimacy and the wider sweep of history as France is gripped by fascism, writes Guy Walters @simonschusterUK #art
