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».

Joseph Adam Hartmann was both court painter to the Count of Erbach-Fürstenau and the Grand Duke of Hesse-Darmstadt, as well as a renowned portraitist of the upper middle class. Clients appreciated his detailed reproduction of clothing and jewellery and his realistic perception, which gives an impression of the self-confidence and need for representation of his contemporaries. Married couples were happy to commission portraits, as the present works and the double portraits of Langenbach (inventory numbers GK1320 and GK1321) and Weyland (inventory numbers GK1455 and GK1456) in the Hessisches Landesmuseum in Darmstadt testify.

Joseph Adam Hartmann war sowohl Hofmaler des Grafen zu Erbach-Fürstenau und des Großherzogs von Hessen-Darmstadt, als auch ein renommierter Porträtist des gehobenen Bürgertums. Auftraggeber schätzten seine detailreiche Wiedergabe von Kleidung und Schmuck und seine realistische Auffassungsgabe, die einen Eindruck vom Selbstbewusstsein und Repräsentationsbedürfnis seiner Zeitgenossen vermittelt. Gerne gaben vermählte Paare Bildnisse in Auftrag, wie die vorliegenden Werke und die Doppelporträts der Eheleute Langenbach (Inventarnr. GK1320 und GK1321) und Weyland (Inventarnr. GK1455 und GK1456) im Hessischen Landesmuseum in Darmstadt bezeugen.
