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».

The Berlin painter Peter Caulitz, who came from a humble background, acquired an undisputed mastery in landscape and animal painting through his years of apprenticeship and travels in Italy, about which we know little today. In 1695 he even received the prestigious position as a painter at the splendid Prussian court under Elector Frederick III. In the Herzog Anton Ulrich-Museum in Braunschweig there are three paintings from his hand, which resemble the present work from the painter's circle in format, motif and composition as well as in the reproduction of the figures, the trees and the foliage (inventory numbers 741, 1042, 1043).
Assessment: We would like to thank Ms Ellis Dullaart, Nederlands Instituut voor Kunstgeschiedenis (RKD), Den Haag, and Dr. Silke Gatenbröcker, Herzog Anton Ulrich-Museum, Braunschweig, for the scientific advice and the friendly remarks via

Der Berliner Maler Peter Caulitz, aus einfachen Verhältnissen stammend, erwarb durch seine Lehr- und Wanderjahre in Italien, über die wir heute wenig wissen, eine unangefochtene Meisterschaft in der Landschafts- und Tiermalerei. 1695 gelang es ihm sogar, einen begehrten Posten als Maler am glanzvollen preußischen Hof unter Kurfürst Friedrich III. zu erlangen.
Im Herzog Anton Ulrich-Museum in Braunschweig befinden sich drei Gemälde aus seiner Hand, die dem vorliegenden Werk aus dem Umkreis des Malers in Format, Motiv und Komposition sowie in der Wiedergabe der Figuren, der Bäume und des Laubs ähneln (Inventarnrn. 741, 1042, 1043).
