The number of works from the National Gallery's collection tragically lost over the course of the Second World War far exceeds 800. Of those, nearly 600 paintings originated from the 19th century alone. This figure roughly equates to a third of the Alte Nationalgalerie's current collection. Over the last few years a growing number of art works suddenly resurfaced on the art market that had, until then, been considered untraceable. We have fortunately now managed to reclaim them for the National Gallery in Berlin.
