It became known that the violin stolen during World War II, the violin of the famous master Antonio Stradivari, was found in Tokyo.
It is reported that the instrument Mendelssohn made in 1709 was previously transferred to the Mendelssohn-Bonke family for safekeeping.
But during World War II, the violin disappeared, and the family unsuccessfully tried to find him. About it writes The New York Times.
The found violin of the master was identified by cultural heritage specialist Karla Chapro.
She was looking through photos from the exhibition of Stradivarius instruments, which was held in Japan in 2018.
There, the violin was named Stella; it was indicated that it was created in 1707.
The expert compared the photos with images of the original and determined from the wood patterns that it was a Mendelssohn.
The instrument was sold at an auction in New York in 2000; it was valued at 1.5 million dollars.
As of 2021, there are about 650 Stradivarius instruments in the world, including about 450 violins.
