[Eugen von Blaas, Eugen De Blass]

Pupil of:

Karl Ritter von Blaas and Academies of Venice, Vienna, and Paris

Eugen von Blaas is the elder of two sons, both artists, of the eminent Austrian historical painter Karl Ritter von Blaas. He was born in Italy, during his father's professional residence there, in 1843, and was at first the pupil of his father, afterward studying at the Academies of Venice, Vienna, and Paris, and traveling in Belgium and England. At all the academies in which he studied he was a winner of high prizes, and he now resides permanently in Venice, where he finds most of the subjects of is pictures, of which "Angiolina," a thorough type of a Venetian girl of the poorer class, is a good example. His more ambitious works belong to the genre order. His brother, Julius B. Blaas, is a popular animal painter.
