As 9th Agers haved learned, our Artiste du Mois, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, is in the news. A woman in West Virginia recently paid seven dollars for a small painting she found at a flea-market. She soon discovered that her purchase was a genuine Renoir painting. This painting, called "Paysage Bords de Seine", was stolen in 1951 from our very own Baltimore Museum of Art! It had not been seen since. The painting will soon go to auction and is expected to sell for $100,000 or more! French is truly everywhere, n'est-ce pas?!
