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».

Frühjahrsauktion
Graff, Anton
1736 Winterthur - 1813 Dresden.
Öl/Lw., doubl. Brustbildnis eines alten Herrn mit Mütze in hellgrüner Weste und dunkelgrünem Rock. Unsign. Farbabsplitterungen, Krakelee und rest.
Laut rückseitig angebrachtem Etikett handelt es sich bei dem vorliegenden Gemälde um ein 1766 angefertigtes Porträt des Archäologen Johann Joachim Winckelmann (1717 - 1768). Ekhart Berckenhagen widerspricht dem in dieser Angabe von ihm verfassten Verzeichnis der Werke Anton Graffs. Nach seinem Dafürhalten entstand das Gemälde um 1810 und kann somit kein Bildnis des bekannten Archäologen sein.
WVZ: Berckenhagen 1573.
