Along the sun-drenched coast of the French Riviera, a museum in Cagnes-sur-Mer has become the site of an unresolved cultural wound: four Renoir paintings were stolen, two have been returned, and two remain somewhere beyond the reach of those who seek them. The theft is not merely a crime against property but against the shared inheritance that public institutions are meant to protect. As investigators pursue two suspects still at large, the case reminds us that the recovery of art — like the recovery of trust — is rarely whole.
