Among them works by Picasso, Matis, Monet and Gauguin

Seven paintings, among them works by Picasso, of Matisse, of Monet and Gauguin, were stolen on the night of Monday to Tuesday from the Kunsthalle Rotterdam, as the Dutch police announced today.

“This morning seven works of art were stolen from the Kunsthalle in Rotterdam. After the permission of the owners, police can now release photos of the works", the police said in a statement.

The burglary took place at approx 03:00 (04:00 Greece time), according to police.

"Police are interviewing potential witnesses and reviewing CCTV footage", the police statement adds, which points out that “according to the first evidence, it appears that the burglary was well prepared".

The works that belonged to the great Dutch collector and billionaire Willem Cordia, they were on loan to the museum for the anniversary 20 years of the Triton Institute. The billionaire's collection has been exhibited in the past, but it was the first time that all these works of supreme historical importance and great value had been exhibited together in an exhibition entitled “Avants Guardes: The collection of the Triton Foundation”.

According to information the robbers “they were waiting” these works quite some time, and the fact that they were all exposed together made the robbery very tempting.

The works are "Harlequin" by Pablo Picasso, "The Woman Reading in White and Yellow" by Henri Matisse, "Waterloo Bridge" and "Charing Cross Bridge" by Claude Monet, the "Woman in front of an open window, the fiancee' by Paul Gauguin, Meyer de Haan's 'Self-Portrait' and Lucian Freud's 'Woman with Closed Eyes'.

"An investigation has been launched and experts are on the scene", said Patricia Wessels, Dutch police spokesman. "We are looking at how (the perpetrators) managed to enter' the museum, Wessels pointed out, "what time and who committed this theft".
