Language pair:	French > English
Subject:	General
Level of diffculty:	Easy / medium
Word or term in question:	à ces reléguées, tenant d’un art persécuté
Context:	Les peintures restées au Louvre après cette première sélection étaient, de beaucoup, les plus nombreuses, mais toutes n’avaient pas été inventoriées en raison du peu d’intérêt qui leur était accordé. À ces reléguées, tenant d’un art persécuté, s’ajoutèrent les por- traits conﬁsqués aux grandes dynasties israélites, principalement aux Rothschild, Lévy-Hermanos, Schwob d’Héricourt. Peu importait l’artiste de talent qui les avait signés.
