Owner: M. et Mme. Gaston Bernheim de Villiers — Paris, France. Collection:(JBernheim-Jeune) Paris region and Rastignac-While most of Josse Bernheim-Jeune's collection was spread out among properties in Paris and Fontainebleau, parts of it were transferred to the Rastignac estate in the Dordogne in southwestern France. On March 30, 1944, a combination of German troops, Georgian irregulars from Paris, SD agents from Perigueux and SS troops descended in the area around Rastignac.The castle was torched. After the war, a surviving witness attested to the fact that the art works had perished even though others attested to the presence of several trucks that left the castle grounds shortly before the fire was set. The fate of the art is unknown. (English)

One of two sons of Alexandre Bernheim [1833-1915], founder of the Parisien art firm, Gaston painted under the name Gaston de Villers. Alexandre the son of a seller of artist's supplies in Besançon, and associated there with Courbet, with whose advice he set up a shop in Paris. Opening his shop in 1863 on the rue Lafitte, Bernheim became a merchant of paintings as well, and was introduced into Parisien high society. Alexandre's sons Gaston and Josse [1870-1941] continued the business, which then became known as Bernheim-Jeune. By the end of the nineteenth century they began to emphasize the exhibition and sale of impressionist paintings, editing a number of monographs on impressionist artists as well. Bernheim-Jeune, with its director of twenty years Félix Fénéon, was one of the most important commercial vehicles of the impressionists, after the galleries Durand-Ruel and Georges Petit. (English)
