US Court Upholds Madrid Museum's Right to Retain Nazi-Looted Pissarro
TL;DR
A US appeals court has ruled that a Madrid museum can keep a Nazi-looted painting by Camille Pissarro, despite it being stolen from a Jewish family during World War II. The decision, while unanimous, has sparked controversy, with one judge expressing hope that Spain would voluntarily return the artwork to the family. The painting, valued at $30m, has been at the center of a legal battle between the museum and the heirs of the Jewish refugees from whom it was stolen.
