The artwork surfaced after a person in Chicago contacted Art Recovery International last year claiming to possess a 'stolen or looted painting' that their uncle brought back to the U.S. after serving in World War II.
After a stopover in the U.S. that lasted the better part of a century, a baroque landscape painting that went missing during World War II was returned to Germany on Thursday.
'We also know that someone tried to sell the painting in the Chicago art market in 2011 and disappeared when the museum put forth their claim.'But with the help of the FBI Art Crime Team, attorneys, and the museum, Marinello negotiated an unconditional surrender of the artwork.The painting, titled 'Landscape of Italian Character,' will now reunite with its counterpart, which shares similar motifs and imagery, according to the museum.
