Nazi-Looted Painting Recovered After Appearing in Real Estate Listing
After 80 years, a painting looted by the Nazis, “Portrait of a Lady” by Giuseppe Ghislandi, was recovered in Argentina, following its identification in a real estate listing. The painting, once part of a prominent Jewish art collector’s collection, was stolen during World War II. The discovery was prompted by Dutch journalists investigating a former Nazi official who fled to Argentina, leading to the painting’s seizure from the Kadgien family, with the couple facing charges of concealment and obstruction of justice. Authorities have since taken possession of the painting.
