Life

Rosy Kahn was the daughter of the businessman Joseph Kahn. She passed the matriculation examination at the Musterrealgymnasium in Frankfurt and initially studied in 1910/11 at the Academy for Social and Commercial Sciences in Frankfurt. She then studied art history in Berlin, Munich, Freiburg and Frankfurt. In 1917 she received her doctorate from the University of Frankfurt under Rudolf Kautzsch . Around 1922 she married the art historian Edmund Schilling (1888–1974), who worked at the Städel in Frankfurt. In 1937 her husband gave up his position at the Städel due to his opposition to National Socialism and the fact that his wife was Jewish and emigrated with her to London . Edmund Schilling worked there as a freelance consultant and expert for collectors and dealers and put together an art collection himself.

Both in Frankfurt and during her time in England, she researched and published on the history of book illumination and graphics . After her death, she bequeathed a collection of drawings from her husband's estate to the British Museum .
