Although John Joseph Enneking was born in
Ohio, he is most associated with New York
and New England, where he painted evocative
landscapes that combined elements of many
different styles, including the Barbizon School,
Hudson River School, Impressionism, and
Tonalism. After serving in the army during
the Civil War, Enneking came to Boston and
began his studies in art before moving abroad
in 1874. In France he worked with Barbizon
and Impressionist masters, including Claude
Monet. He returned to Boston in 1876, where
he enjoyed a successful career and was best
known for his plein-air woodland views.
