專家說明

Maximilian von Goldschmidt-Rothschild (1843-1940) was a wealthy German banker and prolific art collector. He and his brother Adolph jointly inherited the Goldschmidt family bank. In 1878 he married Minna Karoline Freiin von Rothschild (1857-1903), the daughter of Wilhelm Carl von Rothschild (1828-1901). After the death of his father-in-law, the last male of the Frankfurt Rothschilds, Maximilian Goldschmidt and his wife adopted Rothschild name. At one point, he was considered the richest person in the German Empire.
