Italian police have recovered three paintings by influential French artists Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Henri Matisse and Paul Cezanne that were stolen from a museum near the northern city of Parma in March, officials said.<\/p>\n

Officers of law enforcement agency the Carabinieri, from Italy’s cultural heritage protection unit, recovered the works after what police described as a complex investigation.<\/p>\n

The recovered works are Renoir’s “Les Poissons” (“The Fish”), Matisse’s “Odalisque sur la Terrasse” (“Odalisque on the Terrace”) and Cezanne’s “Tasse et Plat de Cerises” (“Cup and Plate of Cherries”).<\/p>\n

Art experts said their estimated value exceeded \u20ac9 million.<\/p>\n

Police today released a video of the theft, showing two masked burglars entering via a window, grabbing the three paintings off the wall and then immediately exiting the building, in an operation that took less than three minutes.<\/p>\n
