A Story Of War, Theft And A Beautiful Woman, Back In The U.S. After 70+ Years Breaking News
Gorgeous. Serene. You won t believe the rocky life this glorious young woman has led since Botticelli painted her in Italy around 1475. First off, she doesn t look her age. And with a passport that would make jet setters seem slug-a-beds, she s seen parts of Europe that Americans flock to, and ends up right now in an American city that rarely tops European s bucket lists: Cincinnati, Ohio. She s part of the Cincinnati Art Museum exhibition, Paintings, Politics and the Monuments Men.
You may remember the George Clooney (be still my heart) 2014 film, about art experts, museum curators, others who volunteered to hunt down artworks confiscated by the Nazis in World War II, and hidden away for safekeeping by Hitler and his henchmen.
