The artwork, titled 'Aeneas and his Family Fleeing Burning Troy', is believed to be a commentary on the exile caused by the English Civil War several years earlier, according to the gallery’s website.

Heirs of the Cassirer Neubauer family first sued in 2005 upon learning of the art’s survival in 2000 and failing to come to an agreement with the museum.

The exhibition is the first time Yad Vashem is displaying artwork that was not created by Holocaust victims or survivors.
