The woman said she did not know the painting was a Renoir when she bought it, even though it was held in a frame with a RENOIR 1841-1919 panel attached.

The Daily Mail is nothing but crap. Please refrain from posting their material in the news forum.

France has seized rare antique cars in the United States for no other reason than they can manipulate the courts and the cars are worth a lot of money. If you find a treasure chest of gold or a rare and famous what-have-you. Dispose (sell) it quietly.

Is that now Free Republic policy???

If so, then I think you need to make an official announcement because there are a lot of other people here who post their articles.

A $100,000 Renoir must be a sketch inside a matchbook cover.

[Uncle Chip]

The article, which some consider “crap”, says that it was the size of a napkin.

Could have been a cheap cooy

The story appears to be true, there are lots of stories about this case out there on the net.

Hardly a day passes without a story posted from The Daily Mail, accompanied by a post or two about why we’re not getting the story in the US press. Sure seems an arbitrary policy if, in fact, it is.

Whoa there, AM. I REALLY like the Daily Mail material posted here. FRiends find great news and human interest items there that simply don’t get published in the MSM in the States. Why do you say it is “crap”?

Lots of stories on this story from Google News:

If the museum had it insured, it belongs to the insurance company.

Washington Post Article:

‘Flea market’ Renoir ordered back to Baltimore Museum of Art by federal judge

[The Cajun]

Had read about it being bought for next to nothing in a flea market, but didn't hear about this little twist.

Thanks for posting.

The Washington Post aritlce I linked to below your post discusses this in
detail but doesn’t ever mention insurance or payments.
