Show notes – Eind 18e eeuw vlucht stadhouder Willem V het land uit en neemt een uiterst kostbaar 534-delig porseleinen servies mee. In Engeland moet hij dat verkopen om in zijn kosten te voorzien. Een eeuw later belandt een deel van het exclusieve servies in de verzameling van een Duits-Joodse bankier, die gedwongen wordt zijn kunstcollectie te verkopen aan de nazi’s. Lange tijd blijft dit servies spoorloos, tot Kunstdetective Arthur Brand het in 2014 op het spoor komt. Picture this: the late 1930s, where a German-Jewish banker finds himself in a real pickle thanks to the Nazis, who are insisting he sell off his prized art collection just to snag a visa outta dodge. Among the treasures was a super exclusive porcelain set that once graced the tables of a Dutch stadtholder. Fast forward to post-war chaos, and guess what? That exquisite porcelain goes missing, poof, just like my last good pair of socks after laundry day. But hold onto your hats, because in 2014, an eagle-eyed researcher spots a plate from that fabled collection in a Dutch museum, sparking a thrilling chase to uncover the lost pieces of history. This episode of Kunstmafia takes us on a wild ride through art theft, deception, and the ongoing quest for restitution as we unravel the story of a rare 18th-century Meissen porcelain service. It’s not just about the china; it’s about the legacy, the families torn apart by war, and the relentless pursuit of what was stolen. Buckle up as we venture into the murky waters of art history, where each piece tells a tale of loss and recovery, and where every auction catalog holds secrets waiting to be discovered. https://www.femkefataal.nl/roofkunst-paleis-het-loo-moet-terug-naar-joodse-familie/ Takeaways: * In de jaren '30 dwongen de nazi's een Duits-Joodse bankier zijn waardevolle kunstcollectie te verkopen voor een visum. * De zoektocht naar verloren kunstvoorwerpen uit de Tweede Wereldoorlog blijft doorgaan, met meer dan 100.000 items nog steeds spoorloos. * Tijdens deze aflevering bekijken we de geschiedenis van een uniek 18de-eeuws Meissen servies dat onlangs werd teruggevonden. * Herbert Gutmann, een grootverzamelaar, werd door de nazi's gedwongen zijn kunstcollectie te verkopen en vluchtte naar Engeland. * De ontdekking van roofkunst in musea heeft geleid tot een hernieuwde zoektocht naar gerechtigheid voor de erfgenamen. * Het Meissen servies, dat ooit toebehoorde aan Willem de Vijfde, onthult de complexe geschiedenis van kunstroof en restitutie.
