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».

Schütz, Johann Georg
1755 Frankfurt a.M. - 1813 ebd.
Forest landscape with nymphs and satyrs. Oil on canvas, relined. Signed lower middle and dated 1787. Restored.
Johann Georg Schütz originated from a well-known Hesse painter's family. He spent a couple of years in Rome for the purposes of study and was bound in close friendship to the painter Jakob Philipp Hackert, whose influence is clearly visible in the present painting. Mythological subjects like the one with nymphs and satyrs enjoyed great popularity as they offered the possibility to depict even erotic scenes.
Provenance: private collection Berlin.
1755 Frankfurt a.M. - 1813 ebd.
Waldlandschaft mit Nymphen und Satyrn. Öl auf Leinwand, doubliert. Mitte u. sign. und 1787 dat. Altrest.
Johann Georg Schütz entstammte einer bekannten hessischen Malerfamilie. Er verbrachte viele Jahre zu Studienzwecken in Rom, wo ihn unter anderem eine enge Freundschaft mit dem Maler Jakob Philipp Hackert verband, dessen Einfluss in dem hier vorgestellten Werk noch deutlich spürbar ist. Mythologische Themen, wie dasjenige der Nymphen und Satyrn, erfreuten sich seit der Renaissance großer Beliebtheit, boten sie doch den Malern die Gelegenheit, auch erotische Bildinhalte zu thematisieren.
Provenienz: Privatsammlung Berlin.
