A Lamentation of Christ, attributed to the workshop of Lucas Cranach the Elder, has finally returned to the walls of The National Museum in Wrocław, Poland. As I reported back in 2020, the painting was rediscovered in the collections of The National Museum in Stockholm, Sweden, having been purchased in good faith at auction in 1970. It had since been revealed that the picture had gone missing from the Polish museum in 1945-6 and the Swedish authorities decided to restitute the picture back to Poland.
