Two paintings by the renowned Impressionist artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir have been recovered by French authorities following a high-profile theft. The artworks were reported stolen last month during a heist at a museum located in the town of Cagnes-sur-Mer, a coastal commune in the south of France.

While the recovery has been confirmed by local officials, including the mayor of Cagnes-sur-Mer, specific details regarding the condition of the paintings or the circumstances of their recovery remain limited. The heist, which took place in a region known for its historical ties to Renoir—who spent the final years of his life in Cagnes-sur-Mer—had sparked significant concern among art historians and local authorities due to the high market value of the stolen pieces, estimated to be in the millions.

Law enforcement agencies have not yet released information regarding potential suspects or whether any arrests have been made in connection with the robbery. The investigation into how the thieves bypassed museum security and the subsequent process that led to the recovery of the works is ongoing. The museum has not yet issued a formal statement regarding when the paintings might be returned to public display.
