http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-32053766 Germany has signed an agreement for the return of a Matisse painting, looted by the Nazis, to the family of its original Jewish owner. Femme Assise [Seated Woman] was confiscated from the Munich apartment of Cornelius Gurlitt, the son of Adolf Hitler's art dealer. Experts say the painting, worth an estimated $20m (£13.4m; €18.3m), was stolen from art dealer Paul Rosenberg. A government task force ruled last year it rightfully belonged to his heirs. Germany's Culture Minister Monika Gruetters has signed an agreement paving the way for the masterpiece to be handed back. Why did it take so long? Anyway, I'm glad the rightful owners are getting it back now. |
