Bavarian State Painting Collections The Bavarian State Painting Collections in Munich have restituted a Nazi-looted painting from the late medieval period to its legal heirs. The 1480 work by an unknown artist had been in the collection of Munich art dealer A.S. Drey, who was Jewish, before it was sold off as a result of Nazi persecution. The painting was handed over on April 23 to the heirs of Drey and his business partners, Ludwig and Friedrich Stern. “The great injustice that the Drey and Stern families had to suffer under the Nazis has been officially recognized and a step taken towards making amends,” said Bavarian State Minister Bernd Sibler in a statement.
