Biography

Enrico was born to a Swiss father, who was a mercenary Swiss guard for the Papacy, stationed in Bologna; Enrico himself rose to become a lieutenant in the force. Along with his older brother Enrico Haffner (born 1640), they initially trained in the studio of Domenico Maria Canuti, but soon gravitated to quadratura,

Antonio traveled to Rome with his brother and Canuti. After returning to Bologna, he traveled in 1676 to Genoa. He lived there for the rest of his life, entering the Congregation of the Oratory of St Phillip Neri. The order was supportive of his work as a painter.[1]

gollark: I've looked at the image, and it doesn't seem to do anything special if viewed. I initially thought it was an animated PNG or something, but it shows as a normal PNG to everything.
gollark: And I'm using the browser version of Discord, in Firefox, as always, sooo...
gollark: What's Nobody's image meant to do anyway? I noticed it when looking at this channel now, and it just says "open in your browser".
gollark: I copy-pasted it all from Stack Overflow. That totally counts.
