A 1913 painting by Nazi Germany’s dictator Adolf Hitler sold for €32,000 in a Slovak internet auction, the Darte auction house announced. The starting price for the painting entitled Maritime Nocturno was set at €10,000, while an expert put its value at €25,000. It was sold in a closed VIP auction. The mixed-media painting depicts a full moon over a glittering seascape. The work had been offered for sale by an unnamed family of a Slovak painter who probably met Hitler personally when he was struggling to become an artist in Vienna during the early 20th century, said Darte owner Jaroslav Krajnak.
