Karl Hauptmann
«The Feldberg Painter»
24th April 1880 – 7th April 1947
Karl Hauptmann was born on 25th of April in 1880 in Freiburg i.Br., Germany. He received his artistic training in Nürnberg and Munich and was thereafter engaged as a decorative painter.
In 1908 he produced the first of what were to be his typical Black Forest paintings. In the years between 1915 and 1919, he produced numerous images of the Alpine region he had visited during his deployment with the mountain infantry in the First World War.
In 1918 Karl Hauptmann purchased «Molerhüsli», which for him encompassed his dwelling, atelier, and exhibition space. It soon became a favourite meeting place for skiers, hikers, students, and visitors to Feldberg.
Due to Hauptmann’s ever-present health problems, his doctor prescribed a trip to Italy in 1940, to which he again travelled the following year.
On 7th of April in 1947, Karl Hauptmann died at the age of 67 at his «Molerhüsli».

The first sheets of the 134 vedute in the series «Vedute di Roma» got published in the year 1751. Piranesi stages the shown monuments by using a dynamic perspective and exaggerated dimensions.

Blatt 21 aus der Serie «Vedute di Roma».
Die ersten Blätter der 134 Stadtveduten aus der Serie «Vedute di Roma» erschienen im Jahre 1751. Piranesi setzte die gezeigten Monumente durch eine dynamische Perspektive und übersteigerte Dimensionen in Szene. So wirken die hinter winzigen Staffagefiguren hervorragenden Bauten durch ihren Detailreichtum sowie starke Hell-Dunkel-Kontraste großartig und machtvoll.
