Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GOA-GRA
GOLDSCHMIDT, HERMANN (1802-1866) , German painter and astronomer, was the son of a Jewish merchant, and was born at
Frankfort
  on the 17th of June 1802. He for ten years assisted his father in his business; but, his love of art having been awakened while journeying in Holland, he in 1832 began the study of
painting
  at
Munich
  under Cornelius and Schnorr, and in 1836 established himself at Paris, where he painted a number of pictures of more than
average
  merit, among which may be mentioned the " Cumaean Sibyl " (1844); an " Offering to
Venus
  " (1845); a " View of Rome " (1849); the " Death of Romeo and Juliet " (1857); and several Alpine landscapes. In 1847 he began to devote his attention to astronomy; and from 1852 to 1861 he discovered fourteen asteroids between Mars and Jupiter, on which account he received the grand astronomical prize from the
Academy
  of Sciences. His observations of the protuberances on the sun, made during the
total
  eclipse on the loth of July 186o, are included in the
work
  of Madler on the eclipse, published in 1861. Goldschmidt died at
Fontainebleau
  on the 26th of August 1866.
