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.
