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».

Jutz, Carl I
1838 Windschläg - 1916 Pfaffendorf.
Two paintings. Duck couple and Duckling. Each oil on panel. Monogrammed lower left respectively lower right.
This remarkable, entertaining, lovingly depicted and surely unique work is, according to legend, the result of a bet between the painter Carl Jutz and his hunting friends. Thus, he wanted to paint the smallest known painting worldwide and he won the bet with his duck couple, masterly executed down to the finest detail. Probably to top this success he painted an even smaller painting, the duckling, just one square centimetre in size and framed on the other side of the same frame.

1838 Windschläg - 1916 Pfaffendorf.
Zwei Gemälde. Entenpaar und Entenkind. Jeweils Öl auf Holz. U.l. bzw. u.r. monogr.
H. 6,5,
Diese außergewöhnliche, unterhaltsame, äußerst liebevoll ausgeführte und in ihrer Art sicherlich einmalige Arbeit ist der Überlieferung nach das Ergebnis einer Wette, die der Maler Carl Jutz mit seinen Jagdfreunden einging. Demnach wollte er das kleinste bekannte Gemälde der Welt malen und gewann die Wette mit seinem bis ins feinste Detail meisterlich ausgeführten Entenpaar. Wohl um diesen Triumph zu überbieten, malte er ein noch kleineres Bild, das Entenküken, gerade einen Quadratzentimeter groß und auf der anderen Seite desselben Rahmens gerahmt.
