Valued at $10 million, the painting of Saint Justa and Saint Rufina is currently on display at the Meadows Museum in Dallas. The museum is home to one of the world’s largest collections of Spanish art, including works stolen from them by the Nazis during World War II.
During the war, the paintings were recovered by the Monuments Men, a group of soldiers tasked with recovering stolen art on the front lines. During their time in battle, the group found over 1,500 pieces of cultural objects and art that were stolen.
