This painting hung in a museum for 71 years, but was finally returned to its rightful owner after it had been stolen by the Nazis. The Royal Museums of FIne Arts in Belgium transferred Flowers by Lovis Corinth to the estate of Gustav and Emma Mayer, who fled their homes in Germany on the eve of World War II. The family’s attorney says the Mayers left behind 30 paintings, all of which were plundered by the Nazis. Inside Edition Digital’s Mara Montalbano has more.
