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».

Rastende Jagdgesellschaft. Öl/Malkarton. In italienischer Landschaft in der Nähe einer Villa adlige Gesellschaft zu Pferde mit Jagdhunden und Jagdfalken. Unsign. Krakelee, Retuschen.
Zu den beliebtesten Arbeiten im Œuvre Lingelbachs zählen seine italienischen Szenerien. Neben Märkten und Häfen handelt es sich, wie auch in dem vorliegenden Beispiel, um Jagdgesellschaften mit prächtig gekleideten Personen und lebhaften Tieren, die bis ins Detail des Zaumzeugschmucks der Pferde und im Falle der Jäger, der mit Federn geschmückten Taschen, überaus qualitätvoll wiedergegeben sind. Die Szenen sind wie hier meist eingebettet in weiter südlicher Landschaft mit herrlichen architektonischen und skulpturalen Versatzstücken, die den Betrachter in eine vergangene Zeit versetzen.
Hunting party in Italian landscape. Oil on cardboard. Unsigned. Craquelure, retouching.
