=== Nazi looting ===
{{Redirect|Bord de mer|the 2002 French film|Seaside (film)}}
Under the Nazi regime, both in Germany from 1933 and in German-occupied countries until 1945, Jewish art collectors of Monet were robbed by Nazis and their agents. Several of the stolen artworks have been returned to their rightful owners, while others have been the object of court battles. In 2014, during the spectacular discovery of a hidden trove of art in Munich, a Monet that had belonged to a Jewish retail magnate was found in the suitcase of [[Cornelius Gurlitt (art collector)|Cornelius Gurlitt]], the son of one of [[Adolf Hitler|Hitler's]] official dealers of looted art, [[Hildebrand Gurlitt]].<ref>{{Cite news|date=5 September 2014|title=Cornelius Gurlitt: Monet found in art hoarder's suitcase|language=en-GB|work=BBC News|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-29085509|access-date=8 February 2021|archive-date=10 February 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210210082347/https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-29085509|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=5 September 2014|title=Monet Landscape Found in Gurlitt's Suitcase|url=https://news.artnet.com/art-world/monet-landscape-found-in-gurlitts-suitcase-94471|access-date=8 February 2021|website=[[Artnet]]|language=en-US|archive-date=28 January 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210128162825/https://news.artnet.com/art-world/monet-landscape-found-in-gurlitts-suitcase-94471|url-status=live}}</ref>

Examples of Nazi-looted Monet works include:
*''Bord de Mer'', purchased by Austrians Adalbert and Hilda Parlagi in 1936. After the ''[[Anschluss]]'', they fled in 1938, leaving it in a Vienna warehouse. It resurfaced in France in 2016 and was restored to the Parlagis' granddaughters in 2024.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/09/politics/monet-bord-de-mer-stolen-nazis-returned/index.html |title=Rare Monet returned to family more than 80 years after it was stolen by Nazis |first=Hannah |last=Rabinowitz |date=9 October 2024 |publisher=CNN |accessdate=9 October 2024}}</ref>
