Un tableau du peintre Pierre-Auguste Renoir, “Portrait d’une jeune fille blonde”, a été dérobé samedi à l’hôtel des ventes de Saint-Germain-en-Laye, près de Paris, à la veille d’être mis aux enchères, a-t-on appris de source policière.


La toile du peintre français, d’une valeur estimée à entre 25.000 et 30.000 euros, a été dérobée alors qu’elle était exposée dans l’attente d’une vente aux enchères prévue pour dimanche. Le voleur s’est contenté de la décrocher du mur et de quitter les lieux sans être vu, selon cette source.


Présentée en Une du catalogue de la vente, cette huile sur toile d’une dimension de 14 cm sur 12,2 cm devait être l’une des pièces phares de ces enchères.


Sur le catalogue, elle est décrite comme “monogrammée A.R. en haut à gauche. Porte au dos, sur le châssis, une étiquette d’encadrement +Chaussegros+ à Vichy et une étiquette marquée +022+”.


L’enquête a été confiée à la sûreté départementale qui compte exploiter la vidéosurveillance pour retrouver le voleur.

Canadian expected to be aboard Russia's 1st manned space mission since rocket failure

READ MORE The first manned mission to the International Space Station since a Russian rocket failed to launch successfully earlier this month may take off on Dec. 3, space agency Roscosmos said on Wednesday. And the crew is expected to include Canadian astronaut David Saint-Jacques, Agence France-Press reported. A Russian cosmonaut and U.S. astronaut were forced to abort their mission on Oct. 11 and perform an emergency landing after a launch accident that Roscomos said was caused by a faulty sensor. The accident was the first serious launch problem experienced by a manned Soyuz space mission since 1983, when a crew narrowly escaped before a launch pad explosion. Sergei Krikalyov, a senior Roscosmos official, was quoted by state news agency Tass as saying the next manned launch had been planned for mid-December, but that Russia was trying to bring the date forward so that the ISS is not briefly left without a crew. “The industry is making significant efforts to move the launch t...

Getting the dope on pot stocks is becoming easier as media groups invest in content: Don Pittis

READ MORE “What’s the buzz? Tell me what’s happening,” goes the ’70s rock anthem. Part of the catchiness of the lyric — from the rock musical Jesus Christ Superstar  — was that in that era the term “buzz” had developed a second spicy meaning. It described the high that people got from smoking cannabis. In the 1970s, the magazine High Times was a brand new title keeping an eye on the illegal but growing business of marijuana pricing and sales. It ran centrefolds of glistening pot plants and of an apartment filled to the windows with what the magazine insisted was an entire ton of cannabis. Now some of Canada’s most staid media voices are looking for ways to go toe to toe with High Times and its U.S. competitors, hoping to profit from Canada’s global head start in legal recreational cannabis. But when it comes to making a killing from spreading the buzz on the cannabis biz, to q...

Toronto man denies conspiring with Marvel CEO in alleged hate mail scheme

READ MORE A Toronto man accused of conspiring with the head of Marvel Entertainment in a bizarre hate mail campaign against his wealthy former employer has denied any role in the alleged scheme. David Smith, along with Marvel CEO Isaac (Ike) Perlmutter, is the target of a slander lawsuit launched earlier this year by Canadian businessman Harold Peerenboom. Now Smith — a former employee of Peerenboom’s Toronto-based executive search firm, Mandrake Management — has filed a motion to dismiss the U.S. civil suit. It’s the latest development in the years-long legal battle between Peerenboom and Perlmutter, a notoriously reclusive American billionaire and personal friend of U.S. President Donald Trump. The hate mail campaign, which ran   between 2012 to 2015, saw anonymous letters falsely accusing Peerenboom of being a child molester, murderer and anti-Semite...
