About Carl Brenders

Carl Brenders was born near Antwerp, Belgium, in 1937 and has drawn since childhood. He studied at the Fine Arts Academy in Antwerp and later at Berchem.13

In the 1960s and 1970s he worked as a commercial artist, illustrating a series of books that the National Museum of Wildlife Art calls The Secret Life of Animals. After a trip to the United States and a visit to the Yellowstone area, he exhibited at Trailside Galleries in Jackson, Wyoming, in 1983, and his career as a wildlife artist began there.2

He works from pencil sketches to paintings in watercolor and gouache, in a technique his publisher said he had developed over 25 years. “Nature is already beautiful, already perfect,” he has said, to explain why he paints in such detail.3

He has shown regularly in the Birds in Art exhibition at the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum in Wausau, Wisconsin, which named him its Master Artist in 2002 and lists him among its artists for 2026. A retrospective of thirty works, Artistry in Nature, opened at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh and traveled to Cleveland, Louisville and Shreveport.192

Wikipedia says he and his wife make their home in Antwerp.1

What do I have?

How to identify a Carl Brenders print

An auction listing shows what one of his paper prints looks like. A copy of Den Mother – Wolf Family, issued in 1992, is described as an offset lithograph, signed in the plate at lower left and by hand at lower right, and numbered 24,572/25,000 at lower left. It came with a certificate of authenticity and its original envelope.4

Edition sizes differ enormously from one title to the next. Among the prints on this site the paper editions run from 950 to 25,000.18164

The same picture may also exist as a giclée on canvas, in a much smaller edition of its own. A dealer lists One to One – Gray Wolf as a paper print of about 10,000 and as a canvas in an edition of 195, with 30 artist’s proofs. The Greenwich Workshop calls that canvas a Masterwork Canvas Edition.58

Some titles were also sold as a Premier or Prestige Edition, which pairs the large print with an original lithograph. For Den Mother that edition is 450; for Full House it is 950.1011

A dealer’s list separates his prints by kind, among them “Offset Paper”, “Giclee Paper” and “Giclee Canvas”. It also has small prints marked only “signed”, with no number.2013
