19th century conductor
collected Jewish art objects
by Warren Freedman
One of the most fascinating
characters in modern Jewish
history might well be Isaac
Strauss, a Parisian who conducted
his orchestra at dances of the
Court of Napoleon III.
Isaac Strauss apparently was
not related to that Austrian family
of musicians who achieved wide
popularity throughout Europe in
the 19th and 20th centuries.
As an orchestra leader and a
practicing Jew, Isaac Strauss
traveled extensively all over
Europe at the turn of the last
century. During his many sojourns
he indulged in his hobby of buying
Jewish religious objets d’art. In
fact, he devoted his fortune, time
and effort to collecting the finest
candlesticks, Purim plates, Torah
scrolls, and other examples of the
European Jewish heritage. In 1878
(five years after the death of
Napoleon III) this unparalleled
private art collection of Isaac
Strauss was displayed for the first
time at the Exhibition of Jewish
Art in Paris.
When Isaac Strauss died, his
collection was bought for 30,000
francs by Baroness Nathaniel
Mayer deRothschild (wife of the
grandson of the first Baron
Rothschild) who presented the
collection to the Musee de Cluny in
Paris. Known as the Strauss de
Rothschild Jewish Art Collection,
it was displayed at the Musee de
Cluny until the outbreak of World
War II, when, for safekeeping
during the Nazi occupation of
Paris, the entirfe collection was
stored in a cupboard in the cellar of
the Musee de Cluny.
Outstanding in Isaac Strauss’
collection is a priceless ark,
beautifully designed, and covered
by more than fifty small carved
panels, made in Italy in the year
1505.
Unfortunately, the Musee de
Cluny, shortly after World War II,
was changed into a museum of
Medieval Art, and thereafter the
fine Jewish art collection of Isaac
Strauss has not seen the light of
day. The Musee de Cluny is willing
to transfer the collection to a
Jewish museum, but no
arrangements have been
successfully made to date.
