Baron Mór Lipót Herzog, who died in 1934, assembled Hungary’s largest private art collection—and among Europe’s greatest—with more than 2,000 works by artists including Claude Monet and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. When his wife died in 1940, the works were divided between their three children (of whom, two escaped Nazi-occupied Hungary, and one died on the Eastern Front).After the collection was seized, the SS commander Adolf Eichmann personally selected some works to ship to Germany, and the Hungarian government handed the rest to the Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest. A pro-Nazi newspaper boasted that the plunder would help the museum “become a collection ranking just behind Madrid”. (English)

Goustave Courbet’s painting Landscape Around Ornans was mistakenly restituted to Poland by the Americans in 1946, from Fishhorn in Austria, as part of a group of paintings that had been looted by Germans from the Warsaw’s National Museum. The Courbet had been part of the Budapest collection of Baron Herzog, which was confiscated by the Nazis in 1944. In 2001, the Warsaw Museum received a claim to return this painting to Herzog’s heir, an American citizen. The Museum director finally decided to return the painting. But the Ministry of Culture refused to grant an export license. It refused the heir’s entitlement to the painting and voided the return. The Courbet remains in Warsaw’s National Museum as its legal prop- erty to this day. (English)
