Who was Moritz Daniel Oppenheim?

Moritz Daniel Oppenheim was a German painter who is often regarded as the first Jewish painter of the modern era.

Oppenheim is considered by the scholar Ismar Schorsch to be in sympathy with the ideals of the Wissenschaft des Judentums movement, because he remained "fair to the present" without denying his past.
