BRONZE MODEL OF THE VENDôME
BRONZE MODEL OF THE VENDôME COLUMN ON A BLACK MARBLE BASE18 1/4 x 5 1/2 x 5 1/ 2in.
Note: The Vendôme column was erected from 1806-1810 to celebrate Napoleon's victory at Austerlitz, the bronze facing of the Vendome column is made from the 1,100 Russian and Austrian cannons captured during the battle. it is directly inspired by Trajan's column. The original figure surmounting the column was that of Napoleon in Roman dress. This statue was taken down and melted after Napoleon's fall, but replaced by King Louis Philippe with one showing Napoleon in this classic tricorn hat and redingote. This was later deemed undignified by Napoleon III, and replaced with a copy of the original statue. During the Commune of 1871, at the instigation of painter Gustave Courbet, the column was torn down. Courbet was later ordered to pay for the cost of reassembling the column and he fled into exile to Switzerland. When the column was re-erected in 1874, it was again with a copy of the original statue of Napoleon in Roman imperial dress.

CARL BRENDERS (1937-), LOOKOUT
CARL BRENDERS (1937-), LOOKOUT TOWER, TIMBERWOLVES Title: Carl Brenders (1937-), Lookout Tower, Timberwolves Medium: mixed media on board Dimensions: 43 1/4 x 31 3/4 Frame dimensions: 54 x 42 1/2 x 4 Notes: Born near Antwerp, Belgium in 1937, Carl Brenders has drawn since childhood. He studied at the Fine Arts Academy in Antwerp and later at Berchem. His love for all creatures is evident in his masterful attention to detail. Brenders’ insistence on anatomical perfection in his paintings stems from his philosophy that nature, itself, is perfection. A dedicated conservationist, Brenders has raised awareness for environmental and conservation causes through his art, which enjoys international acclaim.
Of his painting Lookout Tower - Timberwolves he says: “Why are most people so fascinated with wolves? If one looks at these four wolves on a cliff, the harmony of their colors and wonderful proportions of their bodies, as well as the resemblance to our dear German Shepherds and Huskies, explains everything. The teamwork in their hunting strategy has fascinated many biologists and naturalists. It is the same for most dog species like the Wild Dogs in Africa and the Dingoes in Australia, to name a few. Just like lions hunting in groups, the wolves can lay down big prey like moose, elk and caribou. Even a bear isn’t safe facing a big pack of wolves. One might wonder why wolves are so shy of humans. The story of Little Red Riding Hood is still in people’s minds. This fairy tale gave the wolf a bad reputation. Wolves avoid humans, as humans are their worst enemy.”
He adds: “The inspiration for this painting came when I flew back to Europe after a wonderful field work trip (hunting with my camera). As I am unable to sleep in planes, I often make sketches for future paintings. With a ball-point pen and a little sheet of paper, one sketch was enough to create this painting. The scenery in this painting is typical of Western America with Lodgepole Pine and Rocky Mountain Maple. I mostly paint not what I have seen, but what I dream of seeing in the wild. This painting was done as a celebration for the success of the reintroduction of the wolves in Yellowstone National Park. As a wolf-lover, I am thankful to the people who worked hard to reintroduce the wolf into Yellowstone National Park. A wild area like this isn’t complete without this wonderful predator.”
