A Italian master painting stolen by the Nazis from a Jewish art dealer in Amsterdam has been spotted on the website of an estate agent selling a house in Argentina, more than 80 years after it was taken.

A photo shows Portrait of a Lady by Giuseppe Ghislandi hanging above a sofa inside a property near Buenos Aires once owned by a senior Nazi official who moved to South America after the Second World War.

The painting, which features on a database of lost wartime art, was traced when the house was put up for sale by the official’s daughter, Dutch newspaper AD reports.

The artwork is among hundreds looted from art dealer Jacques Goudstikker, who helped other Jews escape during the war.

    This, again, is antisemitism. Israel does not represent all Jews. It certainly doesn’t represent Jews who died or lost their painting in the holocaust.

    This is like saying The Labour Bund, people who valiantly fought and killed Nazis in Warsaw but were also antizionists are responsible for the genocide of Palestinians. Fuck that.

      Israel is an ethno state that’s like saying the Torrah is only the word of God for some Jewish people and not all of them should be represented by the Torrah.

      Edit: I don’t start a country based on religion and deny that religion is the only reason I exist.

        Just because they claim to represent all Jews doesn’t make it true? Like you know governments say all sorts of things that are aspirational right?

        There are massive movements of Jews all around the world who are against this genocide and the state of Israel. Look up antizionism. Tons of rabbis have been arrested for “antisemitism” in Europe because they are against Israel. You are aligning yourself with the forces that are killing Palestinian children with your bullshit

        Anyways, I’m done with responding to your bigotry with good faith. I hope you become better.

          It doesn’t matter if alt right is your face. Conservatives policies conservative religion.

          Edit: look at climate change protests. It does nothing but a sign of good faith.
