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».

Imaginative ingenious details such as an initial containing the elevation of the Roman Pantheon (first part, p. 3), spirited quotations from antiquity, such as the Artemis of Ephesus on the title of the second part, or prestigious, subtly atmospheric full-page illustrations of antique statues have made this work an erudite, aesthetically sophisticated pleasure and an exuberant feast for art-loving eyes for generations. The painter and engraver Joachim von Sandrart (1606 - 1688) published the «Teutsche Academie», the first encyclopaedic treatise on art theory in the German language. It contains remarks on ancient architecture and sculpture, vitae of important ancient and modern artists, a translation of Karel van Mander's text on Ovid's Metamorphoses and a detailed biography of the author himself. Decorated in a detailed and ingenious manner with numerous initials, vignettes and copperplate engravings of various sizes, this sumptuous volume is a visually powerful masterpiece and early testimony to German-language art historiography.
Provenance: Library of the last Prince-Bishop of Basel Franz Xaver von Neveu (1749 - 1828); after his death it became private property of the family of Neveu, Durbach.
