Thieves Snatch Renoir, Matisse, and Cézanne Works From Italian Museum
Thieves stole three works by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Henri Matisse, and Paul Cézanne from the Magnani Rocca Foundation’s villa museum near Parma, Italy, on the night of March 22, 2026, according to reports cited by Artnet News. Italian police said four masked burglars forced open a door and took the artworks within minutes before an alarm sounded. The stolen pieces were Renoir’s “Les Poissons (The Fish)” (1917), Matisse’s “Odalisque sur la terrasse (Odalisque on the terrace)” (1922), and Cézanne’s watercolor “Tasse et plat de cerises (Cup and plate of cherries)” (c. 1890).
