‘Vase of Flowers’ by the Dutch master Jan van Huysum was returned to the Uffizi Gallery in Florence on Friday after the painting had been stolen over 75 years ago by German soldiers.
The painting was originally hung in the gallery in 1824 before it was taken by Nazi soldiers while they retreated north during World War Two.
