Karl was born in Nauders, Tyroi, Austria on April 28, 1815, and first received his artistic training in Innsbruck, Austria where he received an education to be a writer; mar syn belangstelling foar keunst makke him feroarje syn karriêre paad en mei help fan syn omke dy't wie in rjochter yn Verona, Itaalje; joech him de finansjele stipe dy't er nedich hie om te studearjen oan 'e Feneesje Akademy fan 1832 nei 1837 ûnder lieding fan Italjaanske skilder Ludovico Lipparini (1800 – 1856).
Yn dy tiid wûn Karl in protte prizen en krige ek opdrachten foar it meitsjen fan portretten; en yn 1837 krige de Prix de Rome fan de Venetianske Akademy, wat it him mooglik makke om de kommende fiif jier yn Rome te studearjen; dêr't er yn kontakt kaam mei de Dútske keunstner Johann Friedrich Overbeck (1789 – 1869), it liedende lid fan 'e Nazarene Skoalle; wat beynfloede de rjochting dy't syn keunst soe nimme as hy groeide as keunstner.
Reizen wiidweidich troch hiel Itaalje, Karl soe de wurken fan 'e âlde masters studearje en kopiearje, and would eventually devote himself to creating ecclesiastical art and genre scenes, which led to him obtaining commissions for altarpieces and frescoes.
For a two year period Karl also studied in Munich, Germany and would go on to do commission for churches in Italy, Londen, Parys, Hungary and Russia; then at the age of 35 he was appointed to the Academy of Vienna, where he painted several frescoes in the Alt-Lerchenfeld church; en yn 1855 accepted his nomination as professor in the Venice Academy, which lasted from 1856 nei 1866.
Sometime later in his career he undertook and eleven year project to paint forty two frescoes at the Vienna Arsenal in Austria; now known as the Heeresgeschichtliches Museum (Museum of Military History); which are considered to be among his major works of art.
As a side note, Karl is de heit fan Italjaanske skilders Eugene von Blass (1843 – 1931) en Julius von Blaas (1845 – 1923); en hy wie de learaar fan de Italjaanske skilder Francesco Beda (1840 – 1900).
