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».

Poelenburch, Cornelis van circle of
1594/1595 Utrecht - 1667 ibid.
The Abduction of Ganymede.
Oil on canvas, relined. Unsigned.
H 79,
The Trojan king's son Ganymede, called the most beautiful of all mortals, was so desired by Zeus, the father of the gods, that he then abducted him to Mount Olympus in the form of a majestic eagle. As cupbearer, Ganymede supplied the table of the immortals with nectar and ambrosia, a task he took over from Hebe, the goddess of youth.
The model for this work from the circle of Cornelis van Poelenburch was probably a legendary drawing, now considered lost, but copied by contemporaries such as Giovanni Battista Naldini (1537 - 1591), which Michelangelo Buonarotti (1475 - 1564) had given to his pupil Tommaso de' Cavalieri (1512/1519 - 1587).
