He studied under Joseph Führich at the Viennese Academy before continuing his studies in Munich and then Paris, where he arrived in 1882. It was during his time in Paris that Wertheimer obtained widespread recognition and success after exhibiting his painting, Le repas des lions chez Pezon, at the Salon of 1886. He exhibited frequently at the Salon and participated in many of the great exhibitions of the period, receiving medals at Amsterdam, London, New Orleans and Paris. He also received an honourable mention at L’ Exposition Universelle 1889 and participated in the last Salon de la Rose-Croix in 1897. Austria, circa 1890. Literature: Bénézit, E.
