Anne Webber, co-chair of the Commission for Looted Art in Europe, remarked that the return of the Monet is a significant act of justice for the Parlagi family. This artwork holds immense sentimental value for them, representing not just a lost possession, but a connection to their heritage and a painful history. It is a poignant reminder of the injustices faced during the war and emphasizes the importance of restoring looted art to rightful owners.
James Dennehy, assistant director in charge of the FBI in New York City, expressed that while the Monet has considerable monetary value, its true worth is in its representation to the Parlagi family. It symbolizes their lineage and memories of the past, demonstrating that art is not merely about its market price but embodies emotional ties and family histories that were ravaged during tumultuous times.
