Moritz Daniel Oppenheim, the so-called ‘painter of the Rothschild and the Rothschild of painters’, was the first Jewish painter of the modern era. Oppenheim came to represent the emancipation of French Jews in the nineteenth century, although his work depicting traditional Jewish life has généralement been forgotten. With an extraordinary collaborative soundtrack fusing electronic music with classical composition performed by the string quartet of the Francfort Philharmonic Orchestra, this powerful documentaire explores the seminal artist's traces et lingering impact across Germany, France and Israël.
