“It’s an act of justice to have it returned,” said Anne Webber, the co-chair of the Commission for Looted Art in Europe, the non-profit that started helping Parlagis’ heirs search for the missing art in 2014. “It has huge sentimental meaning for the family.” The FBI got involved in 2021, after the commission discovered that a New Orleans-based art dealer had acquired the painting in 2017 and sold it to private collectors in 2019.The FBI said the owners of the pastel – Bridget Vita and her late husband Kevin Schlamp, did not realize the Nazis had stolen the Monet and they voluntarily surrendered it.
Webber, who advises anyone buying art to carefully check its provenance, estimates about 90 per cent of the artwork and other possessions stolen by the Nazis is still missing.
