Two thieves broke into the Renoir Museum in Cagnes-sur-Mer on the French Riviera early Tuesday and took four paintings, dropping two of them in the museum garden as they fled, according to Mayor Bryan Masson.

The intruders escaped with "Madame Colonna Romano" and "Young Woman at the Well," while "Portrait of Madame Pichon" and "Coco Reading," a portrait of Renoir's son Claude, were recovered in the grounds, officials said.

Masson said the museum alarm sounded at 5:48 a.m. and municipal police arrived at 5:53 a.m. He described the pair as wearing helmets, gloves and combat fatigues and carrying an electric knife and a metal saw.

The mayor's office estimated the value of the works at 9 million euros, or about $10.4 million. The thieves entered by cutting through a fence on the western side of the grounds, away from the main entrance.

The museum opened in 1960 in Renoir's last home, where the painter died in 1919 at age 78. Its collection includes his easel and wheelchair, along with sculptures, furniture and photographs, and it has closed until further notice.

The theft follows the October Louvre robbery, in which about 88 million euros of French crown jewels were taken. Four suspects were arrested, but the jewels remain missing, Europol said last month that art thefts in Europe are turning more violent.
