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».

Le Faussaire Espagnol, the Spanish Forger, was an anonymous falsifier of medieval miniatures, active in Paris around 1900. Several museums and institutions were deceived and included his works into their own collections. Over 200 miniatures of the Forger are known today. In the meantime, they became iconic and are most popular - explicitly as counterfeits.

Le Faussaire Espagnol, der Spanische Fälscher, war ein anonymer, um 1900 in Paris aktiver Fälscher mittelalterlicher Miniaturen. Etliche Museen und Institutionen täuschten sich in den Malereien und nahmen sie in die eigenen Sammlungen auf. Über 200 Werke des Fälschers sind heute bekannt. Mittlerweile haben sie Kultstatus erlangt und sind - explizit als Fälschungen - ausgesprochen beliebt.
