Eugene de Blaas, (24 July 1843 – 10 February 1932),
was an Italian painter in the school known as Academic Classicism. He was born
at Albano, near Rome, to Austrian parents. His father Karl, also a painter, was
his teacher. The family moved to Venice when Karl became Professor at the
Academy of Venice. He often painted scenes in Venice, but also portraits and
religious paintings.
His
colorful and rather theatrical period images of Venetian society, e.g. On the
Balcony (1877; Private Collection), were quite different compared to delicate
pastels and etchings of the courtyards, balcony and canals of modern Venice.
Eugene de Blaas' paintings were exhibited at the
Royal Academy, Fine Art Society, New Gallery and Arthur Tooth and Sons Gallery
in London, and also at the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool. More on Eugene de Blaas
