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».

Born in Modena during the turbulent epoch of the Risorgimento, the Italian unification movement characterised by cultural self-confidence, the talented Eduardo Eugenio Zampighi moved to Florence, which at the time was a reservoir for young, ambitious artists, after studying at the academy of his home town and an intermezzo in the time-honoured art metropolis of Rome. It were above all the so-called «Macchiaioli», literally painters of spots, with their novel style of painting close to the French realism, which aroused his interest and inspired him to discover the everyday life and work of ordinary people as a motif. The intention behind these detailed, occasionally humorous genre scenes was, for Zampighi as for his role models, to make visible the abstract concept of "italianità", the characteristic essence of the Italian temper.

H. 55,8,
Geboren in Modena während der turbulenten Epoche des Risorgimento, der von kulturellem Selbstbewusstsein geprägten italienischen Einheitsbewegung, zog es den begabten Eduardo Eugenio Zampighi nach dem Studium an der Akademie seiner Heimatstadt und einem Intermezzo in der altehrwürdigen Kunstmetropole Rom nach Florenz, das zu jener Zeit ein Sammelbecken für junge, ambitionierte Künstler war. Vor allem die sogenannten «Macchiaioli», wörtlich Kleckser, mit ihrer neuartigen, am französischen Realismus geschulten Malweise, erregten sein Interesse und bewegten ihn, das alltägliche Leben und Arbeiten der einfachen Menschen für sich als Motiv zu entdecken. Die Intention dieser detailreichen, gelegentlich humorvollen Genreszenen war bei Zampighi, wie bei seinen Vorbildern, den abstrakten Begriff der «italianità», die charakteristische Essenz der italienischen Wesensart, sichtbar zu machen.
