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

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 👇

If you want to learn more about the troubled Renoir legacy, following the Cagnes-sur-Mer art heist, pick up Catherine's wonderful book, "The Renoir Girls: A Hidden History of Art, War & Betrayal". Highly recommended.

Yesterday's heist at the Auguste Renoir museum in Cagnes, in the South of France, was not the first time paintings like « Jeune femme au puits » (1886) have been stolen. Nazi looting agency Otto whipped it away to Bavaria during the Second World War. Finally repatriated in 1949.

« Coco lisant » - a 1905 portrait of Auguste Renoir's four-year-old son reading - is the most famous of three paintings confirmed as stolen from the impressionist's eponymous museum in Cagnes-sur-mer, France, in a dawn heist today. Conservative estimate of loss: £10million.

It is not a “special landmark”. It is a place of worship. It is sacred to people. Please respect that.
Fabric. St Paul’s Cathedral. Name a more iconic duo.
Bringing together these two institutions will create a one-of-a-kind experience, pairing world-class music with one of our most special landmarks.

There’s something absurd but also very funny about reviewers giving the Bayeux Tapestry marks out of 5.

When architects refuse to make anything ordinary, you end up with a staircase that has no business being this beautiful.

Incredible photo from the City of Bike in 1948, when Parisians would get back from their month-long August holiday on the Riviera, and their Dick Van Dykes would be waiting for them at the Gare de Lyon. Didn't even bother with a lock and chain.
