Although John Joseph Enneking was born in Ohio, he is most associated with New York and New England,
where he painted evocative landscapes which combined elements of many different styles, including the
Barbizon School, the 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.
