巴黎——检方于10月12日表示,两幅印象派大师皮埃尔-奥古斯特·雷诺阿的画作在法国南部一家博物馆被盗,后在一堵墙后被发现,这两幅画作受到了轻微损坏。
PARIS - Two paintings by impressionist master Pierre-Auguste Renoir, stolen from a museum in southern France and later discovered hidden behind a wall, have sustained slight damage, prosecutors said on Oct 12.
9月,窃贼闯入卡涅叙梅尔的博物馆,盗走雷诺阿的两幅作品,逃跑时遗弃了另外两幅。
In September, thieves broke into the museum in Cagnes-sur-Mer and escaped with two works by Renoir, abandoning two others as they fled.
这四幅画作的总价值估计为900万欧元(约合1290万新元)。10月9日,当局宣布已找到那两幅尚未追回的被盗作品。
The value of all four paintings had been estimated at €9 million (S$12.9 million). On Oct 9, the authorities announced that the two outstanding stolen works had been found.
它们分别是一幅名为《科隆纳·罗马诺夫人像》的肖像画,以及一幅名为《井边少女》的描绘女子在井边的画作。
They were a portrait titled Portrait of Madame Colonna Romano and a depiction of a woman at a well called Young Woman at the Well.
马赛检察官尼古拉·贝松在巴黎对记者表示,这两幅画作于10月8日在南部城镇克莱蒙莱罗的一处住宅搜查中被追回。
Speaking to reporters in Paris, Marseille prosecutor Nicolas Bessone said the paintings were recovered on Oct 8 during a search of a home in the southern town of Clermont-l’Herault.
贝松说,追回被盗作品是在10月7日逮捕六人(其中包括一名女子)之后实现的。
The discovery of the stolen works followed the arrest of six people, including a woman, on Oct 7, said Bessone.
贝松说:“画作被藏在一堵实心炉渣砖墙后面,完全无法被发现。”
“The paintings were hidden behind a solid cinderblock wall. They were completely undetectable,” Bessone said.
“通过审讯工作,调查人员让赃物接收者承认他确实接收了这些画作。”一名29岁男子被视为主要嫌疑人,在DNA证据将其与盗窃案联系起来后,于周末被起诉。
“It was through interrogation work that investigators were able to get the receiver of the stolen goods to admit that he had indeed taken possession of the paintings.”A 29-year-old man seen as the main suspect was charged at the weekend after DNA evidence linked him to the theft.
贝松在法国国家司法警察负责人克里斯蒂安·桑特陪同下发言时表示,这两幅画作“保存状况相对较好”,但“两幅作品均显示出损坏迹象”。
The two paintings were “in relatively good condition”, although “the two works showed signs of damage,” Bessone said, speaking alongside the head of France’s national judicial police, Christian Sainte.
贝松说,《井边少女》的画框轻微受损,而“《科隆纳·罗马诺夫人像》的画布有一处撕裂”。
The frame of Young Woman at the Well was slightly damaged, while “the canvas of Portrait of Madame Colonna Romano had a tear,” Bessone said.
检察官说,撕裂位于肖像画中“裙子”部位,并补充说,这两幅画作“都将需要修复工作”。
The tear was located “on the dress” in the portrait, the prosecutor said, adding that both paintings “will require restoration work”.
最新盗窃案 文化部长卡特琳·佩加尔赞扬“所有促成这一结果的人所展现出的高效与决心”。
Latest heist Culture Minister Catherine Pegard praised “the efficiency and determination of all those who made this outcome possible”.
“正是他们的承诺,使得这些作品得以在创纪录的时间内被找回,”文化部表示。
“Their commitment made it possible to recover these works in record time,” the culture ministry said.
近期法国多家博物馆接连发生盗窃案——包括卢浮宫——凸显了部分场所安保不足,并引发了关于犯罪团伙是否将其视为软目标的质疑。
A spate of heists at French museums – including at the Louvre – has highlighted inadequate security in some cases and led to questions about whether criminal gangs see them as soft targets.
价值约1亿美元的王冠珠宝于2025年在巴黎卢浮宫的白天被盗。
Crown jewels valued at around US$100 million were stolen in broad daylight from the Louvre in Paris in 2025.
虽然四名涉嫌卢浮宫抢劫的嫌疑人已被逮捕,但他们在七分钟抢劫中据称抢走的珠宝仍未被找到。
While the four suspected Louvre robbers were arrested, the jewels they are accused of grabbing in the seven-minute heist have still not been found.
