It may have taken 13 years, but another painting looted by the Nazis during World War II will be given back to the family of Jewish Dutch art dealer Jacques Goudstikker.
The board of trustees of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts voted last week to return "Madonna and Child Enthroned With Saints Nicholas of Tolentino and Sebastian" to Marei von Saher, Goudstikker's sole heir. Goudstikker had a vast collection, some of which was looted by Adolf Hitler's deputy Hermann Göring.
The painting, dating to the mid-1510s, was recovered by Allied forces in 1945 and turned over to the Dutch, with the expectation that it would be returned to the Goudstikker family.
