Eugenio
Born in Albano, near Rome, to an Austrian father (Karl von Blaas) and an Italian mother (Agnesina Ajuda), he was raised in a culturally rich environment. His father, Karl, was a Nazarene painter who moved with the family to Venice in 1856 and became a professor at the Venice Academy. He studied at the Rome Academy and the Venice Academy, where he was a student of his father Karl, and his talent was quickly recognized; in 1860, he won the Selvatico prize and was already exhibiting at the Academy's halls. His first major work dates back to 1863: an altarpiece for the parish church of San Valentino in Merano (now in the Domus Mercatorum in Bolzano). Over the years, he produced several works, mostly depicting Venetian landscapes, showing the lives of fishermen, gondoliers, and Venetian beauties. He was also a portraitist of Roman and Venetian nobility; among his most famous works are portraits of Philip Richard Morris and Duchess Ersilia Canevaro. Love letter. He exhibited in Italy and abroad: in Vienna and London between 1875 and 1892; in Paris, Berlin, Munich, Brussels, and Saint Petersburg. From 1884 to 1890, he was appointed Honorary Professor of Painting at the Venice Academy. He died in Venice in 1931. His works are displayed in museums in Leicester, Melbourne, Nottingham, Sheffield, Sydney, Vienna, and Trieste. Eugenio De Blaas, Albano Laziale 1843 - Venice 1931.
