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».

Franz Alt, who came from a family of painters, devoted his life to watercoloured views of cities and landscapes, which he perfected on his numerous journeys through Central and Southern Europe. With his small-format vedute of picturesque places, the extremely productive artist aroused the interest of many courtly collectors of his time. In October 1885, Franz Alt stayed in northern Italy, as evidenced by another privately owned watercolour, dated twenty days after this one, depicting a paddle steamer against the background of the church of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice.

H. 19,2,
Der aus einer Malerfamilie stammende Franz Alt widmete sich zeitlebens aquarellierten Stadt- und Landschaftsansichten, die er auf seinen zahlreichen Reisen durch Mittel- und Südeuropa perfektionierte. Der überaus produktive Künstler erregte mit seinen kleinformatigen Veduten pittoresker Orte das Interesse vieler höfischer Sammler seiner Zeit. Im Oktober 1885 hielt sich Franz Alt in Oberitalien auf, wovon ein weiteres in Privatbesitz befindliches Aquarell zeugt, das zwanzig Tage nach dem vorliegenden datiert wurde und einen Raddampfer vor dem Hintergrund der Kirche San Giorgio Maggiore in Venedig darstellt.
