From Gurlitt Trove To Be Returned

Germany said...experts had established a Camille Pissarro painting

from the Cornelius Gurlitt art trove was looted by the Nazis and should be returned

to the heirs of its rightful owners.

The oil painting from 1902 entitled "La Seine vue du Pont-Neuf, au fond le Louvre"

(The Seine seen from the Pont Neuf) is "absolutely certain"

to have been looted by Hitler's regime, the German culture ministry said.

"For the restitution, we are already in contact with the heiress of the former owner,"

Culture Minister Monika Gruetters said in a statement, without identifying the family.

Gurlitt, who died in May aged 81, had hoarded more than 1,000 paintings, drawings

and sketches, including masterpieces by the likes of Picasso and Chagall,

in his Munich flat for decades.

The Pissarro piece was discovered among more works

uncovered at his Salzburg, Austria home.

The artworks were acquired by his powerful father Hildebrand Gurlitt

who was tasked by the Nazis with selling artwork stolen

from Jewish families in the 1930s and 1940s.
