Description
In 1937 vluchtte de Duits-joodse zakenman Ernst Flersheim naar Nederland. In zijn bezit bevonden zich twee werken van Jan Toorop, het schilderij De Theems en de tekening Godsvertrouwen. De werken kwamen in de kunsthandel terecht en bevinden zich respectievelijk sinds 1937 en 1943 in Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen. Deze Boijmans Studie beschrijft het onderzoek van Anita Hopmans naar de verwerving van deze werken en de restitutie aan de erven Flersheim.
The German-Jewish businessman Ernst Flersheim fled to the Netherlands in 1937. Among his possessions were two works by Jan Toorop, a painting of The Thames and a drawing titled Faith in God. Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen acquired the works through the art trade in 1937 and 1943 respectively and had held them ever since. This Boijmans Study describes Anita Hopmans's research into the acquisition of these works and their restitution to Flersheim's heirs.
