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».

H 168,
The Baroque master who created this painting followed an extremely popular and often copied model, the monumental relief by Alessandro Algardi in St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, which depicts the meeting of Pope Leo the Great with the Hun king Attila at the gates of Mantua in 452. With the help of the Princes of the Apostles Peter and Paul, who, according to legend, drew their swords in the clouds, the Pope is said to have put the attacker to flight, thus securing the future of Rome and Christianity. Through the mediation of graphic reproductions, Algardi's sculptural creation spread throughout Baroque Europe and was also received in painted form.
Provenance: Heinrich Pohlmann (1839 - 1917), German sculptor, and successors.

Der barocke Meister, der dieses Gemälde schuf, eiferte einem äußerst beliebten und oft kopierten Vorbild nach, dem monumentalen Relief Alessandro Algardis im Petersdom in Rom, das die Begegnung Papst Leos des Großen mit dem Hunnenkönig Attila vor den Toren Mantuas im Jahre 452 darstellt. Mit der Hilfe der Apostelfürsten Petrus und Paulus, die der Legende nach in den Wolken ihre Schwerter zückten, soll der Papst den Angreifer in die Flucht geschlagen haben und damit die Zukunft Roms und des Christentums gesichert haben. Durch die Vermittlung druckgrafischer Reproduktionen verbreitete sich Algardis bildhauerische Schöpfung im barocken Europa und wurde auch in gemalter Form rezipiert.
