Durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, los nazis orquestaron una trama destinada al robo sistemático de obras de arte en toda Europa. Obras maestras fueron sustraídas de las casas de los coleccionistas y de los museos, y trasladadas a Alemania para que engrosaran las colecciones hitlerianas. Muchas de esas piezas viajaron en trenes bajo las bombas, se ocultaron en minas y sótanos, o fueron a parar a manos de los gerifaltes nazis. Acabada la guerra, la pista de muchas de esas obras se perdió para siempre.
