The painting was widely considered to have been lost following World War II. In 1994, following the collapse of the Soviet Union, the State Hermitage Museum revealed that it was in possession of over 70 French Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings, includingPlace de la Concorde, that had been looted from Germany by Soviet Forces. In 1995, Place de la Concorde was exhibited in public for the first time in decades at an exhibition titled Hidden Treasures Revealed.
