Biography

Enders was born in Milwaukee, the son of a saloon owner in the city's German quarter. He was trained by Henry Vianden, and worked for him as a sign-painter. According to Hannah Heidi Levy's Famous Wisconsin Artists and Architects Enders worked in the shop of Henry Baumgaertner. At age 19 Enders traveled to Munich, Germany where he studied from 1879 to 1884[1] at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts with Alois Gabl and Wilhelm von Lindenschmit, especially history painting, genre works and landscape painting. Back in Milwaukee, he founded a studio at 55 Oneida Street.[2] Later he was director of the art gallery of exhibition building in Milwaukee.
