Jewish collector's heirs want US painting on loan in Germany

None

An impressionist painting from an American museum on loan in Germany has become the focus of attention because of allegations it may have been looted by the Nazis from a Jewish art collector.

 

The Barberini Museum in Potsdam, near Berlin, said Wednesday the heirs of the Jewish collector are claiming ownership of Henri-Edmond Cross' "Regatta in Venice" from 1903/04, which is on loan from the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, Texas.
