From 1908 to 1909 Brendel received a scholarship from the Prussian Academy of the Arts in Rome after winning the Michael Beer Foundations competition for 2,250 marks.
Brendel married the photographer Aura Hertwig in 1901 , who called herself Aura Hertwig-Brendel or Aura Brendel for short after the marriage .
From 1921 to 1923 Brendel worked as a professor at the State University of Fine Arts in Weimar. Brendel mainly painted animals and landscapes.
