The French government announced Monday that it will return a Nazi-looted Gustav Klimt landscape painting to its rightful owners more than 80 years after it was stolen from a Jewish family in Austria in 1938.

The colorful 1905 oil work by the Austrian symbolist painter titled "Rosebushes under the Trees" has been hanging in Paris' Musée d'Orsay museum for decades.

French Culture Minister Roselyne Bachelot-Narquin told a Paris news conference that "the decision to return a major work from the public collections illustrates our commitment to the duty of justice and reparation vis-à-vis plundered families."

The oil work will be returned to the family of Nora Stiasny, a Holocaust victim who was dispossessed during a forced sale in August 1938.

Bachelot-Narquin said that French authorities hadn't initially identified the painting as being stolen by the Nazis, and its provenance only recently came to light after French government-led investigations on the issue.

"It is in recent years that the true origin of the painting has been established," she said, adding that it was "the only Gustav Klimt painting owned by France."

"The decision we've taken is of course a difficult one," Bachelot-Narquin said, according to the BBC. "But this decision is necessary, essential. "Eighty-three years after the forced sale of this painting by Nora Stiasny, this is the accomplishment of an act of justice."

Thousands of artworks looted by the Nazis across Europe wound up in French museums after the Allies defeated Nazi Germany in 1945. Though many have been returned, French authorities have stepped up efforts in recent years to find homes for the scores of hanging heirlooms that remain unclaimed.

In 2017 a floral Gustav Klimt painting was sold for nearly £48 million at Sotheby's in London, the BBC reported.

From penniless unknown to the famous creator of The Kiss, get to know the contradictory life of Gustav Klimt

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Gustav Klimt (1862-1918) was a symbolist painter and one of the most prominent members of the Vienna Secession movement. Klimt's primary subject was the female body, and eroticism marks his works.

Klimt was influenced by Japanese art and its methods and achieved success with the paintings of his "golden phase," many of which include gold leaf. "The Kiss" is Klimt's most famous painting.

Klimt died in 1918, having suffered a stroke and pneumonia due to the worldwide influenza epidemic of that year. Numerous paintings by him were left unfinished.

"Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I" by Gustav Klimt is also called "The Lady in Gold" or "The Woman in Gold" is a portrait commissioned by Adele's husband.

This picture is the most significant representative work of Klimt's golden phase. It was the first of two depictions of Adele by Klimt.

Klimt drew over a hundred preparatory sketches for the portrait starting is 1903.

During that year, Klimt visited the Basilica of San Vitale in Ravenna, where he studied the early-Christian Byzantine gold mosaics of Justinian I and his wife, Empress Theodora.

The mosaics made a deep impression on Klimt. Klimt later said that the: "mosaics of unbelievable splendor" were a "revelation." Museum: Neue Galerie New York

"The Kiss" by Gustav Klimt shows a couple embracing, their bodies entwined in elaborately decorated robes. The couple is kneeling at the edge of a flowery meadow.

The work is composed of oil paint with applied layers of gold leaf, a feature that gives it a modern and unique appearance.

The painting is considered a masterpiece of the early 20th-century and a symbol of Viennese Art Nouveau.

The Kiss is a vibrant and sensuous image which was a reaction to the academic art of the 19th century. It was inspired by natural forms, particularly the curved lines of plants and flowers.

Klimt's use of gold leaf echoes medieval gold paintings and illuminated manuscripts, and Byzantine mosaics.

Klimt traveled to Venice and Ravenna, which are both famous for their beautiful Byzantine mosaics and which inspired his gold technique and his imagery. Museum: Österreichische Galerie Belvedere

"Margaret Stonborough-Wittgenstein" by Gustav Klimt is a portrait of a woman from a prominent and wealthy Viennese family.

She was the sister of the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein and the pianist Paul Wittgenstein and her father was one of the richest men in the world.

This 1905 portrait was painted to commemorate her upcoming wedding. The Wittgenstein family were among Klimt's most important patrons.

Klimt is known for his vertical paintings of women. However, even though the paintings are long, the subjects in them have a particular illusionary distortion to them, as they are not precisely parallel.

In this painting, the dress dominates the picture with its delicate, lacy material. She wears a long velvet moire dress with a matching stole, whose embroidered floral ornaments provide some contrast to the iridescent robe. Museum: Neue Pinakothek

"Portrait of Hermine Gallia" by Gustav Klimt is a portrait in which the sitter, Hermine Gallia (1870 - 1936), is wearing a dress designed by Klimt. Numerous preliminary drawings were made for the composition of this work, and several alterations are visible to the naked eye.

Significant portions of the figure's contour having been altered to show the Gallia leaning slightly forward towards the viewer.

Her clasped hands and the slight upward tilt of her head makes her look as if she is engaging with the viewer. Klimt, as in many of his other portraits, has used abstract, geometric designs in his art.

In this case, on the dress, and in the background. Diamonds composed of hexagons and triangles for the pattern on the floor carpet, while Hermine's dress train shows a checkerboard effect. Museum: National Gallery, London

"The House of Guardaboschi" by Gustav Klimt echos his early artistic career, as a successful painter of architectural decorations in a conventional manner.

Beginning in the late 1890s, he took annual summer holidays on the shores of Attersee and painted many of his landscapes there.

These landscapes constitute the only genre aside from figure painting that seriously interested Klimt. Formally, the landscapes are characterized by the same refinement of design and emphatic patterning as the figural pieces.

Space in the Attersee works is flattened so efficiently to a single plane that it is believed that Klimt painted them by using a telescope. Museum: Neue Galerie New York

"The Maiden" by Gustav Klimt depicts the dreamy sensuality of a young girl in a dream state. The central sleeping girl is fantasizing about future possibilities for her self in a dream represented by the patchwork quilt of women surrounding her.

Klimt has created a cloud-like shaped constellation of women with colorful patterned scarves and gowns sprinkled with flower garlands.

The Maiden's long dress is covered with spirals symbolizing fertility and the ever-changing and evolving universe. Klimt's eclectic influences included Classical Greek, Byzantine mosaics, and Medieval styles. Museum: National Gallery in Prague

Beginning in the late 1890s, Klimt took annual summer holidays on the shores of Attersee and painted many of his landscapes there.

These landscapes constitute the only genre aside from portrait painting that seriously interested Klimt. Klimt's Landscapes paintings are of significant quality to merit appreciation.

Formally, the landscapes are characterized by the same refinement of design and unique patterning as the figural pieces. Space in his landscape works is flattened so efficiently that it is believed that Klimt used a telescope to paint to a single plane.

Gustav Klimt Quotes

"All art is erotic."

"I'm a painter who paints day in day out, from morning till evening - figure pictures and landscapes, more rarely portraits. "

"After tea, it's back to painting - a large poplar at dusk with a gathering storm."

"Although even when I am being idle, I have plenty of food for thought both early and late - thoughts both about and not about art."

"Whoever wants to know something about me, as an artist which alone is significant, they should look attentively at my pictures and there seek to recognize what I am and what I want. "

"There is no self-portrait of me. "

"I can paint and draw. I believe this myself and a few other people say that they believe this too. But I'm not certain of whether it's true."

"If the weather is good, I go into the nearby wood - there I am painting a small beech forest (in the sun) with a few conifers mixed in. This takes until 8 'o clock."

"I can paint and draw. I believe this myself and a few other people say that they believe this too. But I'm not certain of whether it's true."

"On my first days here, I did not start work immediately, but, as planned, I took it easy for a few days - flicked through books, studied Japanese art a little. "

"Art is a line around your thoughts. "

"Sometimes, I miss out on the morning's painting session and instead study my Japanese books in the open."

"Today, I want to start working again in earnest. I'm looking forward to it because doing nothing does become rather boring after a while. "

"True relaxation, which would do me the world of good, does not exist for me."

"There is nothing that special to see when looking at me."

"Even when I have to write a simple letter, I'm scared stiff as if faced with looming seasickness. "

"I have the gift of neither the spoken nor the written word, especially if I have to say something about myself or my work. Whoever wants to know something about me -as an artist, the only notable thing- ought to look carefully at my pictures and try and see in them what I am and what I want to do."
