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».

View of Gdansk. 1575. Engraving, hand-coloured with watercolour, on copper plate printing paper. Unsigned.
This print originates from the beginning of the great age of historical city views at the turn of the 16th to the 17th Century. It has been published in the multi-volume collection of realistically portrayed city views «Civitates Orbis Terrarum», edited by Georg Braun and Franz Hogenberg between 1572 and 1618, and is one of the earliest known views of Gdansk. Another example, printed from the same plate and with slightly different colouring, has been shown in the exhibition «Unbekannte Schätze - Grafik und Gemälde aus der Sammlung des Westpreußischen Landesmuseums» in Münster in 2011.
