Cezanne Work Missing From Rome Museum

ROME — A two-sided watercolor by Paul Cezanne is missing from the National Gallery of Modern Art and feared stolen, the museum director said Wednesday.

Augusta Monferini said a restorer reported the back-to-back landscapes missing from a drawer in the gallery’s archives on Jan. 22, but the disappearance was not reported to police until Wednesday.

One side of the 12-by-20-inch work depicts a landscape called “Path among the Rocks,” the reverse side is a scene titled “Landscape with Lake,” depicting the countryside of the French painter’s beloved Annecy, a lakeside town on the edge of the Alps.
