Painting stolen by Nazis during WWII believed discovered in Argentine real estate listing

An 18th-century portrait stolen by the Nazis, Portrait of a Lady by Giuseppe Vittore Ghislandi, may have resurfaced in a surprising location: hanging above a sofa in a coastal Argentinian home, discovered via a real estate listing rather than official channels.

The painting once belonged to Dutch-Jewish art dealer Jacques Goudstikker, whose collection was looted during WWII.

Investigative journalists from the Dutch newspaper Algemeen Dagblad traced the artwork through the post-war life of Nazi official Friedrich Kadgien, who fled to Argentina.

Archival research and additional photos strongly suggest the painting remained in Kadgien’s family for 80 years. Goudstikker’s heirs plan to pursue restitution, ABC News has reported.

Experts note the discovery underscores the unpredictable nature of recovering Nazi-looted art, with many works potentially still hidden in private homes.
