This May 12, 2005 file photo shows an unidentified visitor viewing the impressionist painting called "Rue St.-Honore, Apres-Midi, Effet de Pluie" painted in 1897 by Camille Pissarro, on display in the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in Madrid. A U.S. federal appeals court has ruled that a priceless Camille Pissarro painting a Jewish woman traded to the Nazis to escape the Holocaust in 1939 may remain the property of the Spanish museum that acquired it in 1992. The unanimous ruling issued Monday, Aug. 17, 2020 by a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit is the latest, but perhaps still not the last, turn of events in a case that has wound through the courts of Spain and the United States for 20 years.
