Nude (1910, Template:Lang-fr, Template:Lang-sr) is a painting by French impressionist Pierre-Auguste Renoir. It is oil on canvas, and was painted in 1910. In 1996 the estimated worth was about 6 million US Dollars. The painting is currently housed in the National Museum of Serbia in Belgrade.[1] The painting was given to the Serbian people by Prince Paul of Yugoslavia.

History

The painting was stolen in 1996 by an amateur Roma thief.[2] During the theft, it was badly damaged and was recovered in poor condition, requiring a year of restoration. After the Renoir was stolen, the entire foreign art collection was moved to the museum warehouse to protect the collection until a better security system could be installed.[3]
