A Italian master painting stolen by the Nazis from a Jewish art dealer in Amsterdam has been spotted on the website of an estate agent selling a house in Argentina, more than 80 years after it was taken.
A photo shows Portrait of a Lady by Giuseppe Ghislandi hanging above a sofa inside a property near Buenos Aires once owned by a senior Nazi official who moved to South America after the Second World War.
The painting, which features on a database of lost wartime art, was traced when the house was put up for sale by the official’s daughter, Dutch newspaper AD reports.
The artwork is among hundreds looted from art dealer Jacques Goudstikker, who helped other Jews escape during the war.
All attempts to speak to the sisters since the photo was spotted have failed, according to AD, with one telling the paper: “I don’t know what information you want from me and I don’t know what painting you are talking about.”
Sounds like someone knows exactly what they’re talking about but wants to hang on to their Nazi loot.
Yeah, at the headline I was thinking it was 50:50 whether the daughters knew it was stolen, but by that paragraph it’s obvious that they’re shitty shitty people whose next home needs to be a prison cell.
Also, “I don’t know what painting you are talking about” suggests that she’s got multiple stolen paintings, and needed clarification on which one they want back?
That or avoiding prosecution for knowingly having stolen goods. Who knows what else they have or have sold.
Like father, like daughter I guess… I wonder what else she’s got kicking around.
My first thought was “probably in Argentina”
My second thought was “oh wow i was right, must have been kept by a nazi”
“What painting” said the murderous Nazis scummy disgusting daughter.
Now I’m not saying someone should kidnap this person and get the pictures back, but…
The fallen Madonna with ze big boobies.
Sell it and give the proceeds to Palestinian families.
A follow-up article says the painting has been replaced by a tapestry

They’re not, though.
I think they were doing a bit, if you check their username.
Funny, ones always squaking on the news lately. He doesn’t seem to have a very good makeup artist either.
