Eleonore Stiasny also known as Nora Stiasny née Zuckerkandl (December 16, 1898 – 1942) was an Austrian Jewish art collector murdered in the Holocaust.
Stiasny was born on December 16, 1898, in Vienna [1] to Otto and Amalie Zuckerkandl who was famously portrayed by Gustav Klimt, [2] [3] and was the niece of the great collectors Viktor and Paula Zuckerkandl. She married Paul Stiasny. [4]
She was forced to sell a painting by Klimt, entitled Apple Tree, a few months after Austria's Anschluss with Nazi Germany, and was later deported by Nazis and murdered in 1942 with her mother, her husband and son. [5] [6] [7]
In 2000, the Austrian restitution commission advised the return of Klimt's Apple Trees II, hanging in the Belvedere Museum, to the heirs of Nora Stiasny. [8] However, the commission made a mistake. It was later discovered that the painting had belonged to Serena Lederer, and not Nora Stiasny, who had owned a different Klimt. [9] [10]
In 2021 France restituted the Klimt Rose Bushes Under Trees ("Rosiers sous les arbres") which had hung in the Musée d'Orsay to the Stiasny heirs. [11] [12]
An unfinished portrait by Gustav Klimt used as the centrepiece of the National Gallery's major new exhibition is loot stolen by the Nazis, according to a leading expert. The painting of Amalie Zuckerkandl, which the Austrian was working on when he died in 1918, is the centrepiece of the museum's show Facing the Modern: The Portrait in Vienna in 1900, which runs until January. It is on loan from the Belvedere Gallery in Vienna, which received it as a gift from a private collector.
March: the French government agrees to return a major landscape by Gustav Klimt to the heirs of Nora Stiasny, a Jewish woman from Vienna, forced to sell it before being sent to her death in 1942.
