While at Heidelberg, Brendel studied with the leading minds of his day: Franz Boll (1867-1924), Alfred von Domaszewski (1856-1927), Friedrich Karl von Duhn (1851-1930), Richard Carl Meister (1848-1912), and Eugen Täubler (1879-1953); the literary theorist Ernst Robert Curtius (1886-1956), Friedrich Gundolf (1880-1931), Karl Jaspers (1883-1969), the classical art historians Karl Lehmann and Friedrich Zimmer. He emigrated to the United States in 1938. In the United States, he taught at various schools, including: Washington University in St. Louis (1938–41); Indiana University (1941-1956).

In 1956 he became Professor of Art History and Archaeology at Columbia University, and became ''emeritus'' in 1963, continuing to teach until his retirement in June 1973. He died that September.
