From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ernest de Weerth (21 August 1894 - 28 March 1967) was a Paris-born set and costume designer for the American theatre.
Ernest de Weerth was born in Paris on 21 August 1894 to Helene de Weerth, formerly Helene Baltzell of Baltimore, who after marrying a Belgian, Ernest De Weerth Snr., lived most of her life in Europe. She was known for the salon she hosted at her home in Paris near the Place de l'Opera.[2][3] After her death in 1932, her son Ernest donated a collection of her 17th century Dutch and German paintings to the Baltimore Museum of Art where it is known as the Ernest de Weerth Collection.[4]
