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 composition of the penitent Magdalene is borrowed from a work by Francesco Trevisani which has been imitated several times. Coming from the eastern Adriatic Sea of the Maritime Republic of Venice, he gained his first experience in the lagoon city as a student of Antonio Zanchi. After he arrived in the Eternal City in 1678, he discovered his formative role models in Roman Baroque painters and found loyal patrons in wealthy cardinals.

deutsch Trevisani, Francesco nach
1656 Capodistria - 1746 Rom.
Büßende Magdalena.
Öl auf Leinwand, auf Holz kaschiert. U.r. bez. «F.T.». Verso auf der Rahmenrückwand auf einem Etikett von fremder Hand bez. mit den Angaben zum Werk und zur Restaurierung von 1963. Oberflächenverschmutzung, Retuschen, unterer Bildrand verlängert.

Die Komposition der büßenden Magdalena ist einem mehrfach nachgeahmten Werk von Francesco Trevisani entlehnt. Vom östlichen Adriaufer der Seerepublik Venedig stammend, sammelte er in der Lagunenstadt seine ersten Erfahrungen als Schüler von Antonio Zanchi. Nachdem er 1678 in der Ewigen Stadt angekommen war, fand er in den römischen Barockmalern seine prägenden Vorbilder und in wohlhabenden Kardinälen treue Mäzene.
