Le Boulevard de Montmartre, Matinée de Printemps is an oil on canvas painting by the French artist Camille Pissarro that he executed in 1897.

Contents

By 1923 it was in the collection of the German industrialist and Holocaust victim Max Silberberg (de). Silberberg was obliged by the ruling Nazi regime to dispose of the work in a forced sale in 1935. It was restituted to his family in 2000 and placed on loan with the Israel Museum until 2013. On 5 February 2014 it was auctioned at Sotheby's, London, for £19,682,500, double its pre-sale estimate.
