Alsace Colmar Featuring Found Germans Grunewald Looted Masters Paintings Stolen Theft University Vandalism 1919 Schongauer

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Mary Evans Prints Online tells a poignant story of the recovery of German looted art during World War I. The image, featured in a 1919 edition of the ILN, showcases paintings taken by the Germans from the University of Colmar in Alsace. These stolen masterpieces, including works by artists such as Grunewald and Schongauer, were finally found and returned to their rightful owners after years of vandalism and theft. The historical significance of this discovery cannot be overstated. It serves as a reminder of the atrocities committed during wartime and the importance of preserving cultural heritage. The University of Colmar's collection is not only a testament to artistic mastery but also a symbol of resilience in the face of adversity. As we reflect on this chapter in history, let us honor those who fought to protect these priceless treasures and ensure that they are never again subjected to such desecration. This print is a powerful reminder that even amidst destruction, beauty can be reclaimed and cherished for generations to come.
