According to the Netherlands Institute for Art History, at the age of thirteen Bles was talented enough to be accepted at the Hague Academy.[1] He attended classes from 1834 to 1837 and from 1838 to 1841. He became a pupil of the painter Cornelis Kruseman and his nephew Jan Adam Kruseman.[1] Bles then travelled to France to study with Joseph-Nicolas Robert-Fleury in Paris.[1] He remained in Paris until 1843 after which he settled in The Hague, though he was a member of the Royal Academy in Amsterdam between 1845 and 1899.[1] He painted scenes from the history of Dutch painting and is best known for portraits and genre paintings.[1]
