The hunt for the world`s lost masterpieces

Weidenfeld & Nicolson 1995 289 strana : ilustrovano

odlična očuvanost

Just as Nazi Germany appropriated works of art - paintings, sculptures and antiques - from all over Europe in 1939 and 1940, so the Soviet army set up `trophy brigades` to transport the same works of art, and many more, to Moscow and Leningrad in 1945. This book by two Russian art historians sets out to reveal how they did this and what happened to these works of art. With the end of the Soviet Union, many of these stolen works are now likely to go on display in Russia or be returned to their rightful owners in Europe. This book will be of interest to those who want to know what there is and where it is.
