March 15 2021

Posted by Adam Busiakiewicz:

France's culture minister Roselyne Bachelot-Narquin has held a press conference in Paris to announce that the French state will be restituting a landscape by Gustav Klimt. Rosebushes under Trees had been stolen by the Nazis during the war and had ended up in France. It had been on display in the Musee d’Orsay for many years, but will now be returned to the heirs of the holocaust victim Nora Stiasny.
