Biography
Blaas is best known for his genre scenes, often depicting Venetian society and portraits, alongside some religious works. His depictions of Venetian women in elaborate costumes, such as in "La forma nuziale in sacrestia" and "La tombola in Campiello a Venezia", were admired for their attention to detail, with figures often portrayed in gala attire, radiant jewelry, and hairstyles, capturing the essence of aristocratic Venice.
In addition to his portraiture, Blaas produced theatrical and colorful images of Venetian life, such as "On the Balcony" (1877), showcasing a vibrant yet refined representation of Venetian society. His works were showcased in prominent galleries, including the Royal Academy and the New Gallery in London, and the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool.
Blaas' artistic legacy is closely tied to the rich cultural heritage of Venice, where he lived and painted for most of his life, passing away in 1931.
