Missing Pencz painting may be returned to Warsaw after turning up in Miami

"The Holy Trinity", a painting by sixteenth century German artist George Pencz, which went missing from the National Museum in Warsaw during World War II, has turned up at the Museum Vizcaya in Miami. The painting was given to the Florida museum by the German consul in Miami, after he bought it many years ago at auction in Germany. The Warsaw museum's ownership of the painting was confirmed several weeks ago by Polish and American experts, and the Miami museum has agreed to return it to Poland, although the decision must be approved by the local government. The painting was valued in 1978 at $48,000. (Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 2) P.W.
