Rolf Nikolaus Cornelius Gurlitt (28 December 1932 – 6 May 2014), grandson and great-grandnephew of his namesakes Cornelius Gurlitt (art historian) and Cornelius Gurlitt (composer), respectively, was a German art owner, notable for inheriting a significant art collection from his art dealer father Hildebrand Gurlitt, comprising works passed down through the Gurlitt family together with items Hildebrand had purchased and retained through his dealing career, a subset of which was believed to include looted art from the Nazi era. The collection was confiscated by German tax authorities in 2012 on dubious grounds but eventually agreed to be returned to Gurlitt's possession in 2014, although this never happened in his lifetime. After the collection came to public attention in 2013, Gurlitt agreed that any items which could be identified as looted should be returned to surviving relatives of the persons from whom the items were originally stolen. In his will he bequeathed all his property, including the art collection, to the Museum of Fine Arts in Bern, Switzerland, which agreed to accept them minus any items of suspect provenance, which remain in Germany pending further investigation.
