A Claude Monet pastel looted from a Jewish couple by Nazis in the second world war was returned to the family’s descendants, officials said on Wednesday.
Adalbert “Bela” and Hilda Parlagi purchased the artwork, titled Bord de Mer, at an Austrian art auction in 1936. After Nazi Germany annexed Austria in 1938, the Parlagis had to flee and they left their possessions in storage.
The Nazis in 1940 seized their belongings, which included seven other artworks, and a Nazi art dealer purchased the pastel. The Monet, which dates to about 1865, subsequently “disappeared” in 1941, the FBI said in a press release.
