She was born on November 15, 1845 in Vienna, the daughter of a Jewish military doctor who supported her artistic ambitions. Blau received her first lessons from Anton Hanley and August Schaeffer, later studied in Munich with Wilhelm Lindenschmit and was a student of Emil Jakob Schindler, with whom she temporarily shared a studio. In 1883 she married the painter Heinrich Lang and lived in Munich for a few years. After his death, she returned to Vienna in 1894, where she taught landscape and still life painting at the art school for women and girls that she co-founded. Tina Blau was known for her plein air painting and developed a sober, realistic style of painting that differed from romantic landscape painting. She took numerous trips that enriched her colour palette and motifs. Tina Blau died on October 31, 1916 in Vienna and is considered one of the outstanding artists of the 19th century in Austria.
