Bloch was born as the son of the infantry captain, draftsman and cartographer Jens Peter Blankenborg Bloch (1817-1892) and his wife Anne Julie Margrethe Schroeter (1827-1895) on the Hellerud farm near Skedsmo. From 1878 to 1879 he attended the painting school of Knud Bergslien in Christiania , having previously studied with the backdrop painter Wilhelm Krogh (1829-1913). In 1878 he made his debut at an exhibition in Bergen . In 1880 Bloch went to Düsseldorf , where he studied until 1881 at the Royal Prussian Art Academy in the natural and antique class under the history painter Peter Janssen the Elder painting. This judged him as "outstandingly talented". Bloch went on study trips to Belgium (1882), twice to Paris and to Leipzig (1910).
In 1881 he settled in Christiania, where he married Ingeborg Elise Tellefsen (1869–1918) in 1890. There he created only a few history pictures, but instead established himself as a portrait painter. Like his few landscapes, his portraits show a naturalistic formal language. Mainly, however, he made a name for himself as an illustrator through drawings and watercolors . He illustrated both children's books and works by scientific and popular science authors, especially historical and military-historical publications. Also included caricatures of his repertoire. Since 1877, he drew for the Norwegian satirical magazine Krydseren , later for Vikings , Tyrihans , corsairs and the Folkebladet (1887 to about 1906). From the 1880s he created sophisticated posters for exhibitions and other events. From 1899 he worked as a costume designer for the National Theater . His heraldry interest in heraldry earned him commissions for Norwegian city coats of arms . In the 1880s and 1890s Bloch was represented at autumn exhibitions in Christiania, in 1883 at an exhibition in Copenhagen, and in 1889 at the World Exhibition in Paris .
