The Netherlandish art scholar Friedländer (1867-1958) was the Director of the Paintings Department of the Berlin State Museums. His retirement age coincided with the ascension of the Nazism in 1933. He then left the museum and worked as an art expertiser for German and foreign art dealers including Hermann Goering who protected him. Friedländer identified numerous anonymous Flemish painters employing notnames.
