(ANSA) Rome, June 19 - Finance police have recovered in
Milan an oil painting by Dutch master Pieter Mulier stolen by
Nazi German troops in occupied Poland during the Second World
War, police said Friday.
The painting by the artist also known as Cavalier Tempesta,
was recovered from an auction house in Milan, ending a hunt that
began when it was looted from among a treasure trove of artworks
that had been placed in underground cellars at the Henrykov
abbey for protection from air raids during the war.
The painting was part of the collection of the National
Museum of Wroclaw in Polish Silesia.
