Download or read book Report of the Spoliation Advisory Panel in respect of three Rubens paintings now in the possession of the Courtauld Institute of Art London written by Spoliation Advisory Panel and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2007-11-28 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report deals with a claim by the granddaughter of the late Franz W. Koenigs of the Netherlands in respect of three paintings now in the possession of the Courtauld Institute of Art. The claimant contended that the family lost possession in 1940 when the paintings, which had been loaned to a Museum, and had been used as collateral to secure a loan from a bank, were called in when the bank went into liquidation. The paintings were sold to a collector, Count Antione Seilern, who subsequently bequeathed them to the the Home House Society (the predecessor of the Samuel Courtauld Trust) in 1978. The claimant submitted that the paintings were undervalued when sold, as a result of a conspiracy by two persons connected with the museum, and that the sale must have been made under duress. The Panel, echoing a decision by the Dutch Restitution Committee, finds that the family were deprived of the paintings neither by theft, nor by forced sale or by sale at an undervalue. The Panel recommends that the claim be rejected.

Download or read book Return to an Address of the Honourable the House of Commons Dated 1 March 2006 for the Report of the Spoliation Advisory Panel in Respect of a Painting Held by the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford written by David Hirst and published by Stationery Office Books (TSO). This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Panel considers claims from anyone who lost possession of a cultural object, during the Nazi era, that is now in the possession of a UK national collection. This report concerns the claim by the heirs of Jakob Goldschmidt (a prominent German banker and well-known art collector in the 1920s and 1930s) to secure the return of a painting ('Portrait of a Young Girl in a Bow Window', attributed to Nikolaus Alexander Mair von Landshut) now held by the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford. The Panel concludes that the moral force of the claimant's case is weak and that no moral obligation rests on the Ashmolean, and therefore recommends that the Secretary of State should reject the claim.

Book excerpt: With 1,125 entries and 170 contributors, this is the first encyclopedia on the history of classical archaeology.

The Encyclopedia of the History of Classical Archaeology includes entries on individuals whose activities influenced the knowledge of sites and monuments in their own time; articles on famous monuments and sites as seen, changed, and interpreted through time; and entries on major works of art excavated from the Renaissance to the present day as well as works known in the Middle Ages. As the definitive source on a comparatively new discipline - the history of archaeology - these finely illustrated volumes will be useful to students and scholars in archaeology, the classics, history, topography, and art and architectural history.
Download or read book Imperfect Justice written by Stuart Eizenstat and published by Public Affairs. This book was released on 2009-08-05 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the second half of the 1990s, Stuart Eizenstat was perhaps the most controversial U.S. foreign policy official in Europe. His mission had nothing to do with Russia, the Middle East, Yugoslavia, or any of the other hotspots of the day. Rather, Eizenstat's mission was to provide justice—albeit belated and imperfect justice—for the victims of World War II. Imperfect Justice is Eizenstat's account of how the Holocaust became a political and diplomatic battleground fifty years after the war's end, as the issues of dormant bank accounts, slave labor, confiscated property, looted art, and unpaid insurance policies convulsed Europe and America. He recounts the often heated negotiations with the Swiss, the Germans, the French, the Austrians, and various Jewish organizations, showing how these moral issues, shunted aside for so long, exposed wounds that had never healed and conflicts that had never been properly resolved. Though we will all continue to reckon with the crimes of World War II for a long time to come, Eizenstat's account shows that it is still possible to take positive steps in the service of justice.
