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».

Monnoyer, Jean-Baptiste
1634 Lille - 1699 London.
Prächtiges Blumenstillleben. Öl/Lw., doubl. In gebauchter Vase Blumenstrauß mit Pfingstrosen, Primeln, Winden und weiteren Blüten. Unsign. Rest., Retuschen.
Monnoyer war auf Blumenstillleben spezialisiert. Er hatte in Antwerpen studiert, war in Paris tätig und ging mit etwa 52 Jahren nach London. Nur selten hat er seine Werke signiert oder gar datiert. Wie in dem vorliegenden Beispiel sichtbar, war Monnoyer ein brillanter Blumenmaler. Dies rührt nicht zuletzt daher, dass er selbst botanische Forschungen unternahm und deshalb mit den Motiven seiner Werke sehr vertraut war. So war ihm eine besonders naturnahe und detailgetreue Wiedergabe möglich.
