"Spanish Museum Retains Nazi-Looted Painting Despite Heirs' Legal Battle"

A US court has ruled that Spain can keep a Nazi-looted painting, "Rue Saint-Honoré in the Afternoon. Effect of Rain," by impressionist Camille Pissarro, which was looted from its Jewish owner during WWII. The decision, which has been a decadeslong battle, has shocked the family and prompted one of the judges to express conflict with her "moral compass." The painting, now housed in Madrid's Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza, is estimated to be worth around $30 million. The family is disappointed with the decision and plans to challenge Spain's insistence on harboring Nazi-looted art, while the museum welcomed the ruling, arguing that they were unaware of the painting's stolen history when it was acquired.
