MFA painting involved in WWII art dispute
The article details the history of a 16th-century Flemish painting, “Landscape with Burning City” by Herri Met De Bles, which has been housed at the Museum of Fine Arts (MFA) since 1946. Originally part of the Koenigs Collection, it was looted by Nazi forces during World War II and subsequently resurfaced in the US, with ongoing disputes over its rightful ownership. Descendants of its Jewish owners are demanding its return as part of broader efforts to reclaim artworks looted during the war, but the MFA is currently delaying any restitution due to complex ownership claims and ongoing investigations.
