The Museum de Fundatie in Zwolle has agreed to give $240,000 to the descendants of Jewish Holocaust victims who under duress sold the 1635 painting “Christ and the Samaritan Woman at the Well” by Bernardo Strozzi. The painting is one of several artworks that the Dutch government’s Restitutions Committee has acknowledged as looted art, yet the committee has refused to return the paintings because the “public’s right to have access to the culturally significant works outweighs the interests of the rightful owner.”

The best known item on display in the Netherlands is “Painting With Houses” by Wassily Kandinsky. The painting is valued at $20 million. Amsterdam’s municipal museum, Stedelijk, acknowledges it was looted but has not offered to compensate the rightful owners, who sued the museum and lost.
