The picture looted by the Nazis has disappeared again, let’s say the Argentine police

A picture stolen by the Nazis, which was spotted in the advertising of Argentine real estate agent, disappeared, a prosecutor said after an attack at home.

Lady’s portrait Giuseppe Gislendi was represented, hanging over a sofa inside a property near Buenos Aires, which was sold by the daughter of senior Nazi, who fled Germany after World War II.

However, a police raid into the house this week, no picture turned out to be – but two weapons were seized, Federal Prosecutor Carlos Martinez told local media.

Mr. Martinez said they were treated as a supposed concealment of smuggling, the Argentine daily Clarin reported.

The newspaper reports that the furniture was rearranged and the photo was missing from the wall when they attacked the property.

Peter Shuttin of the Dutch newspaper Algemeen Dagblad, who for the first time reported the appearance of the long -lost work of art, said there was evidence that “the picture was removed shortly after or after media reports appear.”

“Now there is a big carpet with horses and some scenes of nature hanging there.

The portrait of a lady was among the collection of the Amsterdam Merchant Jacques Jacques, most of which were forcibly sold by the Nazis after his death.

Some of the works were restored in Germany after the war and displayed in Amsterdam as part of the Dutch national collection.

For more than 80 years, the location of the Italian portrait player of the late Baroque Giuseppe Ghislendi on the Contessa knees has not been unknown so far.

The AD investigation is opening military documents that suggest that the painting was in the possession of Friedrich Cadgien, an employee of the SS and a senior financial assistant to Herman Goring, who fled in 1945, before he eventually moved to Argentina, where he became a successful businessman.

Cadgien died in 1979, but the US dossier seen by AD included the line: “It seems to have significant assets can still be helpful to us.”

The document added that he had made several attempts to talk to his two daughters in Buenos Aires over the years, but to no avail.

It was only when one of Kadgien’s daughters released the house for sale that they made progress in finding the missing works.

Another plundered work of art – floral still life by Dutch 17th -century artist Abraham Miner – has also been spotted in one of the sister’s social media, AD reported.

After the photo appeared, one of the sisters told Dutch paper that he did not know what they wanted from her, or what kind of picture they “talk”.

GoudStikker’s lawyers said they would make every effort to restore the picture.

His only heir, daughter -in -law, Marey von Sacher, said her family “aims to return any work of art robbed by Jacques’ collection and restore his inheritance.”

According to AD, it conquered 202 pieces in 2006.
