Bunimowitsch's surname was Bunimovitz, which was the Yiddish pronunciation of the name; his name was later Germanized to Bunimowitsch. He was likely the younger brother of the industrialist and financeer Israel Bunimovitz (b. 1848; otherwise, a cousin); the Bunimovitz family descended from a lineage in Valozhyn (an ancestor, Aharon Bunimovitz, was the Rosh ha-kahal of Valozhyn (Volozhin) and sofer to Rabbi Chaim Volozhiner,[2][3] and Jacques was a member of the Vilnius branch of that family, which arrived with Binyamin Bunimovitz of Valozhyn before 1848.[2][4] Other members of this family include Irving Bunim.
Artistic educationedit
Bunimowitsch began his schooling at the Vilnius Academy of Arts during the period of 1873-4;[5][6] two paintings completed during this time, Arkliai Arime and Kaimelio Gatve are examples of the Eastern European dynamic landscapes which were popular at the school at this time. His style of austere aristocratic portraiture was to come after, influenced by his subsequent teachers.
He then moved to Berlin to study under Anton von Werner at the Prussian Academy of Arts (he studied there from 1876-1879); Bunimowitsch apparently absorbed the genre of historical painting from von Werner, as well as the German historical painting that Von Werner practised; Bunimowitsch's portrait style can be seen as similar to von Werner's Portrait of the poet Joseph Victor von Scheffel[7](placement of the portrait, lighting, dressing in dark, facial staging, and so on). Likely, it was at this time when he painted a portrait of Frederick II, Grand Duke of Baden as a young teenager.
Bunimowitsch flourished in Frankfurt as a portrait artist, likely due to his brother moving there for work as a professional scribe;[8] otherwise, perhaps Jacques got there first, and sent for his brother to relocate to Frankfurt.
Bunimowitsch painted fine portraits of prominent Jews and royalty, two of which are housed in The Leo Baeck Institute; these are a set of two portraits of Jakob and Henriette Goldschmidt;[9][1] he painted portraits of at least two of the daughters of Wilhelm Carl von Rothschild in Frankfurt, Minna Karoline Freiin von Rothschild (later von Goldschmidt; see Maximilian von Goldschmidt-Rothschild) and a posthumous portrait of her older sister, Georgine Sara von Rothschild, who had passed away in 1869[10] (her portrait looks away from the viewer, a technique known with posthumous portraiture). He may have painted a portrait of Nathan Rothschild, 1st Baron Rothschild about this time during a visit in his style of austere portraiture.
Bunimowitsch was awarded three Patents on appliances he invented.[11][12][13]
