Another contentious painting at the Met is Auguste Renoir’s “Portrait of Tilla Durieux,” which the artist painted in 1914 while confined to a wheelchair.“The painting is one of the jewels of the Metropolitan Museum,” said Jonathan Petropoulos, professor of European History at Claremont McKenna College and a leading expert on Nazi-looted art.Durieux, a famous Berlin actress, took the painting with her when she fled Nazi Germany for Yugoslavia with her German-Jewish husband Ludwig Katzenellebogen in 1933.The couple’s heirs have said that they sold the painting under duress in 1935. Katzenellebogen was arrested in April 1941, transported to Berlin and murdered in 1943. The painting found its way to Paris and later to New York, where it was donated to the museum in 1960.
