Paintings by Picasso, Matisse, Monet and Freud are among the haul worth a “considerable value”<\/h1>\n

Police said a total of seven paintings were taken from the Kunsthal museum in Rotterdam including Pablo Picasso’s Tete d’Arlequin (1905) and Henri Mattise’s La Liseuse and Blanc et Jaune (1919).<\/p>\n

Two pieces by Claude Monet – Waterloo Bridge, London (1901) and Charing Cross Bridge, London (1901) – were also stolen.<\/p>\n

The thieves also made off with Paul Gauguin’s Femme devant une fen\u00eatre ouverte, dite la Fiancee (1888), Meyer de Haan’s Autoportrait (circa 1889 – 91) and Woman with Eyes Closed (2002) by Lucian Freud.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The total value of the seven pieces has not been revealed but is said to be “considerable”, according to Mariette Maaskant from the museum.<\/p>\n

“There was a break-in during the night and a few paintings were taken that represent a considerable sum,” Rotterdam police spokeswoman Patricia Wessels confirmed.<\/p>\n

“A major investigation is under way and forensics are at the scene.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The museum, which opened a new exhibition a few days ago to celebrate its 20th anniversary, will be shut for the rest of the day.<\/p>\n

Investigators are now reviewing CCTV footage and appealing for witnesses who might have seen the crime, which is believed to have taken place in the early hours of the morning.<\/p>\n\n
