Moritz Daniel Oppenheim, the
painter of the Rothschilds &
the Rothschild of painters, was
not only the first Jewish artist
with an academic background,
but also an icon of Jewish
emancipation in Germany.
Young filmmaker Isabel Gathof
searches out Oppenheims
descendants and heritage in
Germany, France and Israel,
on the occasion of the worlds
first monument built to the
artist. Oppenheim was born
in 1882 in Frankfurt am Main.
He is often regarded as the first
Jewish painter of the modern
era. His work was informed by
his cultural and religious roots
at a time when many of his
German Jewish contemporaries
chose to convert to Christianity.
