After a stopover in the U.S. that lasted the better part of a century, a baroque landscape painting that went missing during World War II was returned to Germany on Thursday.
The FBI handed over the artwork by 18th century Austrian artist Johann Franz Nepomuk Lauterer to a German museum representative in a brief ceremony at the German Consulate in Chicago, where the pastoral piece showing an Italian countryside was on display.

The guy returning it was trying to get paid- oh well, at least it’s being returned now.
It’s the American way. Everyone wants to get their beek wet.
Glad it has been returned.
