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».

Withering bouquet of roses.

Parisian-born Georges Jeannin was a renowned expert on flower still lifes. His award-winning paintings received much recognition at the world exhibitions of 1889 and 1900, among others. His specialty were lush rose bouquets, whose full, dense forms were depicted in such a colourful way that the viewer is under the illusion of smelling the sweet fragrance of the almost fading queen of flowers.

deutsch Jeannin, Georges
1841 Paris - 1925 ebd.
Verblühender Rosenstrauß.
Öl auf Holz. U.l. sign.
H. 32,5, B. 24,5 cm.
Der gebürtige Pariser Georges Jeannin war ein ausgewiesener Experte für Blumenstillleben. Unter anderem bei den Weltausstellungen von 1889 und 1900 fanden seine preisgekrönten Gemälde viel Anerkennung. Sein besonderes Talent lag bei üppigen Rosenbouquets, deren füllige, dichte Formen er so farbenprächtig darzustellen wusste, dass wir als Betrachtende der Illusion anheimfallen, den süßlichen Wohlgeruch der fast verblühenden Königin der Blumen zu verspüren.
