Enzinger Anton (n.a. - 1768)

In 1713 Enzinger was "lackey to the Cathedral Provost", and in 1718 "pictor and famulus" to the Bishop of Chiemsee. In 1746 he entered the service of the archbishop and became Kammerportier [equivalent to "yeoman usher"]. Enzinger's mostly small-format paintings show animals and hunting still lifes in the Dutch style. They used to hang in various Salzburg palaces, and are said to have spread as far as England. Today, they figure in the collections in Bruchsal Palace, Schlägel Abbey, Joanneum regional museums/Graz, Ferdinandeum/Innsbruck, and Salzburg Museum, whose online collection includes 32 mostly small-format animal paintings, hunting scenes and river landscapes, as well as a larger portrait of chief administrator H. Zeidrich wearing a top hat and set in a forest landscape.
