Quebec police find stolen artwork by renowned artist Jean Paul Riopelle

MONTREAL — Quebec provincial police say they have found a lithograph by the late internationally renowned Quebec painter Jean Paul Riopelle that was stolen more than 15 years ago.

Investigators say they found the artwork during a search executed at a house in late July in Mirabel, Que., north of Montreal.

The lithograph had been stolen along with three other artworks in June 2005 during a break-in at the artist’s workshop in Quebec’s Laurentians region.

Police say they are still looking for the three other missing artworks.
