The Art Newspaper has reported that the National Museum in Stockholm will restitute a stolen painting to a museum in Poland.
The picture, attributed to the School of Cranach depicting The Lamentation of Christ (with a donor family by the looks of it), had gone missing from a Polish museum between 1945-46. The painting was purchased by the Swedish museum in good faith at auction in 1970. Recent provenance research has traced the picture's history and it will now be returned to the Muzeum Narodowe in Warsaw.
