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».

1637 Haarlem - 1701 Mailand.
Küstenlandschaft mit Hero und Leander. Um 1680. Öl auf Leinwand, doubliert. Unsign. Verso auf einem alten handschriftlichen Etikett «4675» num. sowie Auktionsvermerke. Altrest.
Echtheitsbestätigung: Prof. Marcel Roethlisberger, Experte für Pieter Mulier und Verfasser des Werkverzeichnisses, Genf, 10.04.2010, in Kopie.
Prof. Roethlisberger beurteilt das Gemälde nach Betrachtung des Originals als authentisches und typisches Werk dieses bedeutenden Malers. Charakteristisch für das Œuvre Muliers ist neben der Wahl und Komposition der einzelnen Bildelemente - Küstenlandschaften mit zerklüfteten Felsen und hohen Bergen und aufgewühlter See, die Szenerie einrahmenden Bäume und sich teilweise bedrohlich auftürmenden Wolkenformationen in dramatischen Farbabstufungen von gelb bis violett - auch die Ausführung der Figuren im Vordergrund, welche in Art und Weise der Darstellung mit denen seiner zeitgleich in Italien entstandenen Gemälde korrespondieren. Prof. Roethlisberger datiert das Werk anhand formaler und stilistischer Aspekte in die Schaffensphase um 1680.
Provenienz: Privatsammlung Berlin.
