  • This painting hung in a museum for 71 years, but was finally returned to its rightful owner after it had been stolen by the Nazis. The Royal Museums of FIne Arts in Belgium transferred Flowers by Lovis Corinth to the estate of Gustav and Emma Mayer, who fled their homes in Germany on the eve of World War II. The family’s attorney says the Mayers left behind 30 paintings, all of which were plundered by the Nazis. Inside Edition Digital’s Mara Montalbano has more.

    Honestly this is very respectable I feel like most places would be like “it’s ours now lawyer up to get it back” or something like that but they’re actually urging people to find the original owners and it’s honestly just really respectable

      @JAB00Z I don't understand the logic of your troll. You're saying that bad art deserved to be stolen but that doesn't really make sense, even for a troll. The thief gets ugly art while the owner loses art they thought was good. Wouldn't a good troll say something like, the art deserved to be destroyed because it's ugly?
