Philippe Lambert

Baron Philippe Lambert (March 1930 – September 2011) was a Belgian banker and art collector, of the Bank Brussels Lambert banking dynasty, and the husband of fellow art collector Baroness Marion Lambert.

He was born in March 1930,[1] the son of Baron Henri Lambert (1887–1933) and Johanna von Reininghaus (1899–1960). [2] He was the great-grandson of Baron James Mayer de Rothschild and the great-great-grandson of Samuel Lambert, who in 1840 established the family-owned Banque Lambert. Banque de Bruxelles and Banque Lambert merged in 1974, to form Banque Bruxelles Lambert, which was one of the largest banks in Belgium.[3]

He had a brother Leon Lambert, also a banker and art collector (1928/29–1987), and a sister Lucy, based in Brussels.[3]
