DESCRIPTION:
|
Eugen von Blaas was born in Italy, of Austrian parents. He received his initial training from his father, the history and fresco painter Karl von Blaas. He continued his studies at the Academy in Venice and Rome, later becoming professor at the Academy in Venice.
He exhibited regularly at the Esposizione Nationale in Venice and the Jubilee Exhibition in Vienna and Munich. Between 1875 and 1892 he showed his work at the Royal Academy, the Grafton Gallery and the New Gallery in London.
Many of his best works reflect life in Venice, often pretty women surrounded by the decaying masonry of intimate courtyards.
The work of Eugen von Blaas is represented at the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna, the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney, the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne, Australia, the Mappin Gallery Sheffield, the Leicester City Gallery and the Nottingham Castle Art Gallery.
