Enslen was born at Vienna in 1792, and studied at the Academy of Berlin. He travelled in Italy, Sweden, Norway, and Denmark, and his panoramas give proof of a knowledge of excellent linear and aerial perspective. He died at Lille, aged 73. There is a view of the Bay of Naples by him in water-colours in the Lille Museum.

He was the son of Johann Carl Enslen, both worked closely together.
