Artwork of the Week – 28th October 2013

Carl Brenders – East of the Sun

Carl Brenders was born in 1937 near Antwerp where he still lives with his wife, Paula. He started drawing at a very early age and trained at the Fine Art Academy there and later in Berchem and began his career as an illustrator of children’s books on natural history. Being a great train fan, he painted them also. For long revered and collected by admirers around the world, in September 2002 he was deservedly honoured by the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum in Wisconsin, USA, as their Master Wildlife Artist, describing it as ‘the high point of my career’.

Carl Brenders is internationally acclaimed as one of the greatest nature painters of all time.

East of the Sun is a Signed Limited Edition Print which is available on paper or canvas. Each print comes with its own certificate of Authenticity, a biography of the artist and a description of the print itself. This stunning piece features a leopard in fantastic detail. Its piercing green eyes look ahead while the background goes out of focus.
