French authorities are preventing an oil painting by Impressionist Claude Monet from moving to a London exhibition because it is believed to have been looted by the Nazis. Currently on loan to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, “Waterlilies” has been claimed by the descendants of Paul Rosenberg, a prominent Jewish art collector in prewar Paris. The 1904 painting has an estimated value of some $10 million.
