This painting was taken from Monte Cassino by the Hermann Göring Division and moved to the principal depository for looted art at Altaussee. Note the poor condition of the painting and the numerous blisters and flaking areas caused by the the journey and changes of temperature and humidity. Many paintings stolen by the Germans were damaged in this way. [National Archives ID# 540138]
