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».

Außergewöhnlich kunstvoll gestalteter apulischer Fischteller
Exceptionally masterful elaborated Apulian red-figure fish-plate with the depiction of various fishes, a cuttlefish, a jellyfish, as well as sea snails and scallops. 4th C. BC. Pottery, painted black, white and yellow. Signs of age.
Fish-plates are forming a special category within the red-figure painted antique plates. Motifs were always taken from the marine world, like fishes and other sea creatures, mainly in masterfully naturalistic executions. Actually about 1000 examples of these beautiful plates are known, produced in various workshops. Typical for the Apulian works are the centered dents, always decorated by painting. Furthermore the bellies of the fishes are always aligned towards the centre of the plate, while the examples of the Attic school are depicted with the bellies towards the edges.
Provenance: purchased in the 1960s at Römisch-Germanisches Museum, Cologne; since then private collection Dr. Dr. Albert Gilles, Cologne, and succession.

Fischteller sind eine Sonderform der antiken, im rotfigurigen Stil bemalten Teller. Motive sind stets Fische oder anderes Meeresgetier, meist in äußerst naturalistischer Ausführung. Zurzeit sind etwa 1000 Exemplare dieser besonders schönen Teller bekannt, die in unterschiedlichen Werkstätten produziert wurden. Typisch für die apulischen Arbeiten sind die mittigen Vertiefungen, die im Gegensatz zu den Werken anderer Regionen stets mit Malerei verziert wurden. Zudem weisen die Bäuche der Fische stets zur Tellermitte, während die der attischen Schulen mit den Bäuchen zum Rand dargestellt wurden.
Provenienz: erworben in den 1960er Jahren im Römisch-Germanischen Museum, Köln; seitdem Privatsammlung Dr. Dr. Albert Gilles, Köln, und Nachfolge.
