The Coast at Cagnes, Sea, Mountains. Pierre-Auguste Renoir, c. 1910.

The Coast at Cagnes, Sea, Mountains, is a painting by Pierre-Auguste Renoir. It was bequeathed by Leopold Moller in 1999 to the Friends of Bristol Art Gallery who passed it to Bristol City Council for display in Bristol Museum.[1][2]

Although it has been auctioned by Nazis, the UK Commission rejected a claim for restitution.[3] In its report, the Spoliation Advisory Panel stated: "The Painting, which by 1935 was owned by Margraf, was sold at a "Jew auction" to an unknown buyer by the Berlin auction house of Paul Graupe on 12 October 1935."[4]
