"Nazi-Looted Pissarro Painting to Remain in Spain After Court Ruling"

TL;DR Summary
In a long-running Nazi art restitution case, a U.S. Court of Appeals ruled in favor of a Spanish museum, allowing it to keep a valuable Pissarro painting that was surrendered by a Jewish woman to the Nazis in 1939. The court determined that Spanish law applies to the case, granting the museum ownership of the painting. The heirs of the original owner, who have been in a legal battle with the museum since 2005, plan to seek an en banc review. Despite the legal ruling, a judge expressed the belief that the museum still has a moral duty to return the painting.
