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».

According to legend, the original icon with this type of depiction was made by Luke the Evangelist. When he failed to complete the depiction of the Mother of God, a divine influence completed the image of the Virgin Mary. Probably this model, which was extremely influential for both Western art and icon painting and which is also referred to by the Greek word «Hodegetria» (She, who shows the way), was created in Constantinople in the 5th century and has been in the Cathedral of the Assumption in Smolensk since 1046.
