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».

After his training as a facade and decoration painter, Christian Georg Schütz I, founder of a successful dynasty of artists, demonstrated his skills for numerous princely clients and wealthy citizens of the city of Frankfurt a.M. A trip to the Rhine between Mainz and Koblenz inspired him to create his poetic river landscapes, which explore the tension between ideal and reality. He combines hills bathed in soft, subdued light - often with pastoral staffage figures - either with the castle romanticism of the Rhine Valley or with ancient fantasy ruins fitting in the taste of the time.

Nach seiner Ausbildung zum Fassaden- und Dekorationsmaler stellte Christian Georg Schütz I, Begründer einer erfolgreichen Künstlerdynastie, sein Können für zahlreiche fürstliche Auftraggeber und reiche Bürger der Stadt Frankfurt a.M. unter Beweis. Eine Reise an den Rhein zwischen Mainz und Koblenz inspirierte ihn zu seinen poetischen Flusslandschaften, die das Spannungsfeld von Ideal und Wirklichkeit ausloten. In sanftes, gedämpftes Licht getauchte Hügel - oft mit pastoralen Staffagefiguren - kombiniert er entweder mit der Burgenromantik des Rheintals oder aber mit antiken Phantasieruinen im Geschmack der Zeit.
