Deep Purple played a combination of blues, classic music and hard rock, so you can say ritchie blackmore is not only a blues based player like page but also a prog rock player.
Some blackmore tunes you should check out-
Lazy , Highwaystar from deep purple's machine head
April pt3 from deep purple's self titled album (i think its the first rock solo with sweep picking, 20 years or so before malmsteen's era)
Rainbow's long live rock'n'roll
Hmm basicly any other blackmores solo
