The Cleveland Museum of Art paid the heirs of an artwork believed to have been confiscated by the Nazis to keep the drawing in its collection.Director David Franklin said the museum paid what he called “fair market value” to the heirs of Arthur Feldmann for the drawing “Allegory of Christian Faith,” by the 17th century German artist Johann Liss, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reported over the weekend.The museum purchased the drawing from London art dealer Herbert Bier in 1953, the museum said on its website.The Gestapo, or Nazi state secret police, confiscated Feldmann’s collection of about 750 Old Master drawings. Feldmann died in 1941, two years after he was arrested by the Nazis in Brno, now in the Czech Republic, according to the museum. Feldman’s wife died in the Auschwitz concentration camp. (English)
