Thieves hit the Renoir Museum on the French Riviera and made off with four valuable works by the French impressionist master, though they ditched two in the museum garden as they fled, the mayor of Cagnes-sur-Mer said Tuesday.

The two missing paintings are “Portrait of Madame Colonna Romano” and “Young Woman at the Well.” The museum housed 12 works by Renoir in total.
