Born in West Prussia, Rosenbaum studied in Paris at the Académie Julien. In 1905 he went to Italy, then Breslau, eventually moving to Berlin where he studied under Lovis Corinth. After immigration, Rosenbaum repaired Blitz-damaged houses, and worked as a china restorer, before he established an art school with his wife Adèle Reifenberg (their students exhibiting as “The Belsize Group”). He died in Holland, on a visit to see a Rembrandt exhibition, and was buried in England.
