[3] He was active in Mikulov (formerly (Nikolsburg in Südmähren) in the 1720s where he painted frescoes for Walther Franz Xaver Anton, Prince of Dietrichstein in his renovated castle (destroyed in World War II).

[2] He worked together with the Flemish court painter and printmaker Frans van Stampart on various publication projects.

He started collaborating with Frans van Stampart on a publication project that was entitled Theatrum artis pictoriae.

Each of the four volumes contains 40 full page copper engravings depicting the paintings in the Stallburg gallery in a laterally inverted way.

The important achievement of von Prenner and van Stampart was to be the first to include in a publication works from the old German school.

Due to the difficult preparatory work and prolonged publication history of the Theatrum, von Prenner and van Stampart published the Prodromus (full title: Prodromus, seu Praeambulare lumen reserati portentosae magnificentiae theatri, quo omnia ad aulam caesaream in Augustissimae suae caesareae) in Vienna in 1735.

One of the important improvements in the Prodromus in comparison to the Theatrum is that the paintings are rendered not in mirror view starting from plate 8.
