Henri Matisse’s “Woman Sitting in an Armchair.” Wikipedia photo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

AMSTERDAM — The German task force investigating a huge trove of art recovered from a Munich apartment says one of the paintings – Henri Matisse’s 1921 “Woman Sitting in an Armchair” – was looted from Jews by the Nazis and belongs to the descendants of Paris art dealer Paul Rosenberg.<\/p>\n

The painting was one of more than 1,500 works found in 2011 in the apartment of Cornelius Gurlitt, the son of an art dealer who worked with the Nazis.<\/p>\n

In a statement, the task force’s head Matthias Henkel said he couldn’t be sure how Gurlitt acquired the painting, but it is clear it is the “rightful property” of Paul Rosenberg.<\/p>\n
