In 1955, Sir John Rothenstein, representing the Trustees of the Tate Museum, approached Winston Churchill about donating one of his paintings "as a gift to the nation."  Churchill was flattered, but felt he did not deserve such an honor as an artist.  Eventually, Churchill agreed and sent two candidate paintings to the Tate – On the Rance and Loup River.  No record exists regarding his own thoughts on the works he submitted, but one can safely say that Churchill thought highly of On the Rance, especially since it was not one of the paintings Rothenstein identified as a strong option. Loup River, which clearly matched Rothenstein's taste, was selected.  Not only was On the Rance not returned, but somehow it ended up, without any inventory record, in a basement storeroom at the Tate. In the storeroom it sat for almost a half century, when it was discovered by an intern.  The Churchill family was notified and eventually the painting was auctioned in June 2005, where it set a new auction record for Churchill's work, despite the lot notes hardly touching on the Tate’s possible acquisition. In a letter to the buyers, Churchill’s daughter, Lady Soames, summarized what had occurred in somewhat more detail.<br><br>St. Malo is a walled city in Brittany, France on the coast of the English Channel.

في عام 1955 ، اقترب السير جون روثنشتاين ، الذي يمثل أمناء متحف تيت ، من ونستون تشرشل بشأن التبرع بإحدى لوحاته "كهدية للأمة". شعر تشرشل بالإطراء ، لكنه شعر أنه لا يستحق مثل هذا الشرف كفنان. في النهاية ، وافق تشرشل وأرسل لوحتين مرشحتين إلى تيت - على نهر رانس ولوب . لا يوجد سجل فيما يتعلق بأفكاره الخاصة حول الأعمال التي قدمها ، ولكن يمكن للمرء أن يقول بأمان أن تشرشل كان يفكر بشدة في On the Rance ، خاصة أنها لم تكن واحدة من اللوحات التي حددها روثنشتاين كخيار قوي. تم اختيار نهر لوب ، الذي يتطابق بوضوح مع ذوق روثنشتاين. لم يتم إرجاع On the Rance فحسب ، بل انتهى به الأمر بطريقة ما ، دون أي سجل جرد ، في مخزن في الطابق السفلي في Tate. في المخزن جلس لمدة نصف قرن تقريبا ، عندما اكتشفه متدرب. تم إخطار عائلة تشرشل وفي النهاية تم بيع اللوحة بالمزاد العلني في يونيو 2005 ، حيث سجلت رقما قياسيا جديدا في المزاد لعمل تشرشل ، على الرغم من أن ملاحظات اللوت بالكاد تتطرق إلى الاستحواذ المحتمل لتيت. في رسالة إلى المشترين ، لخصت ابنة تشرشل ، السيدة سوامز ، ما حدث بمزيد من التفصيل إلى حد ما.

سانت مالو هي مدينة مسورة في بريتاني ، فرنسا على ساحل القناة الإنجليزية. تم تدمير المدينة تقريبا بسبب التفجيرات خلال الحرب العالمية الثانية.
