Theodore Rousseau

Theodore Rousseau was an American art historian and museum curator, known for his role as the deputy director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. After World War II, he was involved in the investigation of art dealers like Bruno Loze, examining their connections to Nazi plundering and the broader implications for art restitution. Rousseau's work contributed to the post-war understanding of the impact of the Nazi regime on cultural heritage and the complexities surrounding the recovery of stolen artworks.
