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».

Korovin, Konstantin Aleksei

Still life with absinth and roses. Oil on canvas. Signed in Cyrillic lower left and dated 1917.
H 76, W 71,5 cm.
Konstantin Aleksei Korovin is one of the most important Russian Impressionists. He went to Paris in 1885 to study French Impressionism. The present painting is an excellent testimony of this, for it shows a vivid colour, a virtuous use of lighting and a positive ease of impressionist application of paint.
Pigment analysis: Prof. Dr. Hermann Kühn, Munich, 27.02.2009. The composition of the pigments shows no evidence against the time of origin of the painting in 1917. There are no indications, that signature and date have been added afterwards.

Konstantin Aleksei Korovin zählt zu den bedeutendsten russischen Impressionisten. 1885 reiste er nach Paris, um den französischen Impressionismus zu studieren. Hierfür ist das vorliegende Gemälde ein exzellentes Zeugnis, überzeugt es doch durch seine lebendige Farbigkeit, den virtuosen Einsatz des Lichtfalls und die positive Leichtigkeit des impressionistischen Farbauftrags.
Farbanalyse: Prof. Dr. Hermann Kühn, München, 27.02.2009. Bei der Zusammensetzung der Malfarben spricht nichts gegen die Entstehung des Bildes im Jahre 1917. Es gibt keinerlei Anhaltspunkte dafür, dass Signatur und Datierung später hinzugefügt sein könnten.
