Born in Berlin, Germany in 1869, Carl Rungius took a serious interest in drawing, the outdoors, and animals at an early age. He would become one of North America's most accomplished painters of mountains and wildlife.

Rungius was trained at the Berlin Art School and at the Academy of Fine Arts and the School of Applied Arts in Berlin. Invited by a Brooklyn, New York uncle to take a hunting trip to Maine in 1894, he got his first look at America and stayed on to spend the following summer hunting in Wyoming. After a brief return to Germany, where he realized that his enthusiasm for the wilder landscape and more plentiful game in America was too powerful an attraction to ignore, he returned to settle on Long Island, New York in 1897.

The artist maintained a studio there to 1910, though he spent his summers hunting and drawing, primarily in New Brunswick and Wyoming. One summer, 1904, was spent in the Yukon with Charles Sheldon.

In 1910 Rungius moved his studio into New York City, interacting extensively for the first time with well-known artists of the day. He also made his first visit to Alberta that year, where for the first time he saw the dramatic landscape as a sufficient subject in itself, rather than just as a setting for animals. He returned annually to Alberta, and he and his wife built a studio in Banff in 1921. He would live and paint in Banff every summer thereafter until 1958.

Rungius' paintings are bold and vigorous, both in color and brushstroke. His oils, from smallest sketches to largest compositions, employ expressive, usually thick paint applied with decisive verve. He captures the power and monumentality of the Rockies as much through the character of his paint as through specific topography. The same expressive handling makes his animals one with both the landscape depicted and the compositions in which they are placed.
