I. ROZUMIENIE TEKSTU
Museum’s £3m Cezanne stolen
While everyone in Britain celebrated the new millennium on January 1 2000, a £3
million painting by Paul Cezanne was stolen from the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford.
The painting – Auvers-sur-Oise – depicts a cluster of small white cottages set in a tree-
lined valley and dates back from around 1880. Police believe the thieves broke in through the
main gallery’s glass roof while thousands of people were reveling on the streets outside. The
thieves may have gained access from the adjoining library, which was undergoing building
work at the time, before clambering over rooftops to reach the museum itself.
The director of the Ashmolean described the theft as a ‘shattering blow’. The
Ashmolean is home to one of Britain’s finest art collections, which includes works by
Leonardo da Vinci, Picasso, Van Gogh and Michelangelo. However, it is not the first time the
Ashmolean, the world’s oldest public museum, has been targeted by the thieves. In 1997, a
gang tried to steal a 1,100-year-old jewel without success and set off the alarm system. In
1996, two seventeenth-century French bottles were stolen from the museum. In 1992, security
measures were stepped up after Greek vases, paintings, silverware and a sixteenth-century
painting were stolen by a visitor under his coat.
Will Cezanne’s painting ever be seen again? ‘It’s quite unlikely,’ says an art expert.
‘In a case like this, the painting is too famous to be sold. It might be lost forever now, hidden
in a warehouse somewhere and never to be appreciated again.’
