The Spoliation Advisory Panel recommended the return of Henry Gibbs' 1654 work, Aeneas And His Family Fleeing Burning Troy, from Tate Britain to the heirs of Samuel Hartveld.
The panel deemed the painting 'looted as an act of racial persecution,' highlighting the historical injustices of Nazi art theft and the importance of restitution.
This significant return symbolizes not just the recovery of a lost artwork, but also aims to address the historical trauma faced by Hartveld's family during the war.
