Henri Matisse painting 

looted by Nazis 

and hidden by 

Cornelius Gurlitt

returned to heirs

From artdaily.org:

More than two years after masterpieces looted 

by the Nazi regime were discovered in a Munich 

apartment, the first artwork was returned 

to the heirs of its original owner...

The caption of the photograph:

  Paul Rosenberg, looking at Henri Matisse’s ‘Femme Assise’ (Seated Woman) painting on May 15, 2015* in Munich...

 The painting, looted by the Nazis and found last year 

 in [an apartment occupied by] Cornelius Gurlitt,

 son of a Nazi-era art dealer, was handed back 

 to the Rosenberg family today.
