In 1939, Lilly Cassirer Neubauer surrendered the painting — “Rue Saint-Honoré, Apres Midi, Effet de Pluie” by the famed French-Jewish painter Camille Pissarro — to the Nazis in exchange for her being allowed to flee Germany. The Impressionist work from 1897, which she had inherited from her father, depicts grand avenues in modern Paris glistening during an afternoon rain. (anglès)

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The great-grandson of a Jewish woman who surrendered her priceless Camille Pissarro painting to escape the Holocaust watched Tuesday as his lawyer relentlessly grilled officials of the Spanish museum where it now hangs, expressing incredulity that they didn’t know it was Nazi looted art.Members of the museum’s legal and research team, including some who were there when the painting “Rue St.-Honore, Apres-Midi, Effet de Pluie” was acquired in 1992, insisted due diligence was done. They added they had no idea it was stolen until Lilly Cassirer’s grandson, Claude, discovered it in 1999. (anglès)
