Karl von Blaas was a well-known Austrian artist who excelled at portraiture and religious scenes with watercolor and oil on canvas. From an early age, his passion was to further his artistic career and undertook studies at the Venice Academy and then further studies in Rome. While in Italy, he traveled extensively and won many commissions for ecclesiastical art and altarpieces, some at the behest of Pope Pius IX.
