Product Details
Overview
• The story of the hunt for a lost painting by Pissarro
During the German occupation, a Jewish Dutch couple had to sell a painting to go into hiding. Their daughters were placed in a children's home, but were rounded up in early 1944 and deported to Auschwitz, where they died. The parents survived the war and did not discover their children's fate until 1946. The search for the painting also remained fruitless for a long time, until Origins Unknown Agency discovered that it had ended up in a German museum. The museum had previously tried unsuccessfully to trace its provenance. Thanks to the Origins Unknown Agency, the heirs of the original owner were found. The German museum and the heirs agreed that the painting, an 1882 work by Camille Pissarro, would remain at the museum. As part of the compensation, the painting will be kept on display from November 2024 to February 2025 at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam.
