    Four come from the collection of Otto Gerstenberg, who became wealthy in insurance and was a well-known private collector before he died in 1935. He had the world's finest collection of Daumier, and bought Degas's "Place de la Concorde" in 1911. He also owned the most magnificent of the 15 Renoirs shown here, the 1885 "In the Garden," depicting Renoir's lover and another young artist friend as an idealized couple amid blazing flowers.After Gerstenberg's death, his paintings went to his daughter, Margarete Scharf, who stored most in the bunker of the Nationalgalerie in Berlin during the war. These were taken to the Soviet Union. But some were put in storage and burned in an air raid. (English)
