Paysage Bords de Seine[1] (On the Shore of the Seine[2] or Landscape on the Banks of the Seine[1]) is an 1879 oil painting by Pierre-Auguste Renoir. It was stolen in 1951 from the Baltimore Museum of Art and resurfaced in 2012.
Paysage Bords de Seine
English: On the Shore of the Seine, English: Landscape on the Banks of the Seine
Paysage Bords de Seine was painted by Renoir in 1879. In June 1925, the painting was purchased by the Paris art gallery Bernheim-Jeune from a "Madame Papillon" (possibly Alphonsine Fournaise Papillon, a figure in the artist's Luncheon of the Boating Party).[1] In January 1926, Herbert L. May purchased the painting from Bernheim-Jeune. In 1937, May's ex-wife, Saidie May, loaned the painting to the Baltimore Museum of Art.[2] In her will, Saidie May bequeathed the painting, along with all her other artworks, to the Baltimore Museum of Art. She died on May 28, 1951.[3]
Theft and rediscoveryedit
Sometime between the evening of November 16, 1951, and a little after noon on November 17, Paysage Bords de Seine was stolen from the Baltimore Museum of Art during the "From Ingres to Gauguin" show.[4] The museum sold the title of the painting in an insurance claim of $2,500 to Fireman's Fund Insurance Company, which paid the museum for the loss.[2][5] In July 2012, Marcia Fuqua brought the painting to The Potomack Company auction house in Alexandria, Virginia, to sell.[2][6] Fuqua claimed that she bought the painting at a flea market in West Virginia for $7 in late 2009, however a family member said the painting had been in the family for "50 or 60 years" (he later changed his account)[6] and other witnesses claimed to have seen the painting in the family's possession decades before the attempted sale.[7][8] The Potomack Company cancelled the auction scheduled for September 29, 2012, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation seized the painting and opened an investigation into the theft.[6] In November 2013, the Fireman's Fund Insurance Company transferred the title of the painting from the insurance claim back to the Baltimore Museum of Art.[4]
On January 10, 2014, U.S. District JudgeLeonie Brinkema ruled that the painting rightfully belongs to the Baltimore Museum of Art.[9] The FBI returned the painting to the museum on January 31, 2014.[10]
