ABOUT THE ARTIST

James Tissot (1836–1902) was a French painter and illustrator, closely associated with the Impressionist movement. His early works were literary and historical paintings, often on Faustian themes. He was influenced by Eastern art like his friends Degas and Whistler, and he painted in great detail. He was criticised for his lack of narrative which linked him to the Aesthetic movement. After serving in the Franco-Prussian War and the Paris Commune, Tissot moved to London in 1871, where he enjoyed great success for his paintings of contemporary high society. From 1876 he lived with his partner, the model Kathleen Newton, but after her death in 1882 returned to Paris. Inthe last years of his life, he worked on a series of paintings of Biblical scenes from the Old Testament.
