	Introduction -- The Wertheimer's - by the Jewish Museum
		Asher Wertheimer, a well known and highly respected art dealer, was born in London, the son of a self-made German Jew who had himself become a prominent London art dealer.
		Wertheimer was "nothing short of amazing." Robert Ross, writing in The Art Journal in 1911, described it as "one of the great portraits of the world, the only modern picture which challenges the Doria Velázquez [the portrait of Innocent X] at Rome." However, Sargent's portrait of Mrs.
		Wertheimer, bedecked in a white lace-trimmed dress and extraordinarily long rope of oriental pearls, did not go over well with her, although it remained in the family.

	Virtual Vienna Net Community - Tracing Austria's Jewish Heritage
		A reminder of the prosperous Jewish haute bourgeoisie - the Austrian constitution of 1867 granted Jews full equality - are the elegant residences built along Vienna's Ring in the mid-nineteenth century by wealthy banking and merchant families.
		A few of the buildings which still stand today are the Palais Wertheim (Schwarzenbergplatz 17), Palais Todesco (Kärntnerstrasse 51), and the Palais Epstein (Dr. Karl-Renner-Ring 1).
		In Eisenstadt, capital of Burgenland, there is a Jewish Museum, which was opened in 1982 in the former house of the Samson Wertheimer, once court factor or agent, or less flatteringly "court Jew", who lived in part at the imperial court in Vienna, and was also chief rabbi of Hungary.

		However, there were some who not only maintained connections with their former neighbors, but many used their tremendous influence with the government to advocate on behalf of the Jews, who often found themselves in very precarious positions.
		When Empress Maria Theresa of Austria issued an order to expel the Jews of Prague at the end of the 18th century, blaming them for the invasion of the city by Frederick the Great of Prussia, Samson Wertheimer and his family exerted pressure that eventually resulted in the order being rescinded.
