About Adolphe Schloss
Adolphe Schloss (10 August 1842 – 31 December 1910) was a French art collector.
Schloss was born to a Jewish family[1] in Furth, Lower Bavaria. He married Mathilde Lucie Haas and together they collected 333 works from the Northern and Southern Netherlands that became notable as a collection between World War I and World War II. They held a gallery at salon Adolphe Schloss residence 38, avenue Henri Martin, Paris. After Adolphe's death there, his collection became the property of his wife Lucie, who died in 1938 and the collection was left to their children Marguerite, Henry, Juliette and Lucien. They moved the collection to Chambon for safekeeping during the war, where it was looted by the Vichy government in 1943. Of the 333 objects, only 230 were actually offered to the Hitler museum and 49 were saved for France and given to the Louvre. After the war all were lost, but gradually 148 objects could be rediscovered.
