Nine years ago, researchers found a declaration filed in the late 1940s regarding a missing painting by Camille Pissarro, leading to a significant discovery.
Annelies Kool discovered the painting Le Repos within days, and her research revealed a tragic backstory involving two Jewish sisters and their horrific fate during the war.
The painting is currently held by the Kunsthalle Bremen museum which has agreed to collaborate on a book documenting the van den Bergh family's history.
The arrangement underscores the importance of recognizing and preserving art's connection to personal histories and the impact of historical injustices on individuals and families.
