Nazi plunder
In the late 19th century, during the Franco–Prussian War (1870–71), "The Wedding Feast at Cana", then 308 years old, was stored in a box at Brest, in Brittany. In the 20th century, during the Second World War (1939–45), the 382-year-old painting was rolled up for storage, and continually transported to hiding places throughout the south of France, lest Veronese's art become part of the Nazi plunder stolen during the 12-year existence (1933–45) of the Third Reich.
