Norton Simon Museum Can Keep Cranachs Looted By Nazis, Rules Judge

“A judge in US District Court in California has dismissed a claim by an heir to the Dutch dealer and collector Jacques Goudstikker to recover Lucas Cranach’s Adam and Eve (around 1530), two paintings now at the Norton Simon Museum. The 15 August ruling in the decade-long case holds that the paintings became the property of the Dutch government after the Second World War.”
