LOS ANGELES - A Madrid museum cannot be forced to return a Camille Pissarro painting that was seized by the Nazis from its Jewish owners during World War Two, despite the institution’s failure to honor its “moral commitments,” a federal judge in California has ruled.
“ court has no alternative but to apply Spanish law and cannot force the Kingdom of Spain or TBC to comply with its moral commitments,” Walter said in a 34-page ruling issued in his chambers in Los Angeles on Tuesday. The artwork, which was later confiscated by the Gestapo, resurfaced in the United States in 1951, where it remained until it was purchased by the Baron Hans Heinrich Thyssen-Bornemisza for $300,000 in 1976.
