The paint pillaged by the Nazis has disappeared again, let’s say the Argentine police

A painting stolen by the Nazis who was spotted in the announcement of an Argentinian real estate agent has disappeared, said a prosecutor after a raid at home.

The portrait of a lady from Giuseppe Ghislandi was presented suspended above a sofa inside a property near Buenos Aires, who was sold by the daughter of a senior Nazi who fled Germany after the Second World War.

A police descent at home this week, however, revealed any painting – but two weapons have been seized, said federal prosecutor Carlos Martínez to local media.

Mr. Martínez said they were dealing with him as an alleged concealment of smuggling, the Daily Argentin Daily Clarin reported.

The newspaper reported that the furniture had been rearranged and that the image lacked on the wall when they made a descent on the property.

Peter Schouten of the Dutch newspaper of Algemeen Dagblad, who first pointed out the reappearance of the work lost for a long time, said that there was evidence “that the painting had been deleted shortly after or after media relationships on this subject appeared.”

“There is now a large carpet with horses and scenes of nature suspended there, which says that the police resemble something else used there.”

Portrait of a lady was part of the collection of art merchant Amsterdam Jacques Goudstikker, a large part of which was forcibly sold by the Nazis after his death.

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

For more than 80 years, the location of the late Italian portrait painter by Giuseppe Ghislandi du Contenta Colleoni had been unknown so far.

AD’s investigation revealed that war -time documents suggest that painting was in possession of Kadgian Friedrich, SS officer and principal financial assistant to Hermann Göring, who fled in 1945 before moving to Argentina, where he became a prosperous businessman.

Kadgian died in 1979, but an American file seen by AD included the line: “seems to have substantial assets, could still be useful for us”.

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

It was only when one of the Kadgian girls put the house for sale that they made progress to locate the missing works.

Another work of pillaged art – a dead floral nature of the Dutch painter of the 17th century Abraham Mignon – was also spotted on one of the social media in the sister, ad.

After the appearance of the photo, one of the sisters told the Dutch newspaper that she did not know what they wanted from her, or what painting they “speak”.

The lawyers of the succession of Goudstikker said that they would do everything possible to recover the painting.

His only survival heir, the daughter-in-law Marei von Saher, said her family “aims to bring back each stolen art work from the Jacques collection and restore her heritage”.

According to AD, she took possession of 202 pieces in 2006.
