Nazi officer's daughter charged after stolen WWII painting spotted in real estate listing

 

Argentine prosecutors have charged the daughter of a fugitive Nazi officer with attempting to hide an 18th-century Italian painting that was looted during World War II and had not been seen publicly in 80 years.

 

The charges came a day after Patricia Kadgien, the 59-year-old daughter of Nazi officer Friedrich Kadgien who allegedly stole it from a leading European art dealer during World War II, handed 'Portrait of a Lady' over to authorities. The painting by Italian artist Giuseppe Ghislandi likely dates back to around 1710, with a value of around $50,000, the Associated Press reported, citing one art expert.

 

The heir of the painting's original owner, Dutch-Jewish art collector Jacques Goudstikke, who died in a shipwreck while fleeing Amsterdam during the war, has reportedly filed a legal claim to reclaim the artwork. Goudstikke's descendants have made efforts to recover around 1,100 paintings that have been missing since he was forced to sell his extensive art collection to Hermann Göring, Adolf Hitler’s right-hand man, according to the Associated Press.
