Sisley was a British Impressionist painter, closely associated with Renoir and Monet. On 20 June 1978, at 8.30 pm, a truck was stolen. Inside were around ten masterpieces worth 1.5 billion francs. The transport company responsible for returning the works following a loan had made no security arrangements. On 21 September 1998, \u2018The Avenue of Poplars\u2019 was stolen once again. This time, it was the curator of the Mus\u00e9e des Beaux-Arts in Nice, Jean Forn\u00e9ris, who staged his own abduction! Finally, on Sunday 5 August 2007, five masked and armed men held up staff at the Nice museum to steal four paintings, including the Sisley. It was not until 2008, with the help of the FBI \u2013 which was also searching for works stolen from the Boston Museum \u2013 that the thieves were arrested.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
