James Tissot is best known for his paintings of fashionable women
and society life in the late 19th century. Born in Nantes, France,
he trained at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris where he befriended
James McNeill Whistler and Edgar Degas. Tissot's career defies
categorization and he never formally belonged to the Impressionist
circle despite an invitation from Degas. An astute businessman,
Tissot garnered commercial and critical success on both sides of
the English Channel while defying traditional conventions. He
received recognition at the time from patrons and peers, and even
his society portraits reveal a rich and complex commentary on
Victorian and fin-de-siecle culture. This lavishly illustrated
book, featuring paintings, enamels, and works on paper, explores
Tissot's life and career from his early period in Nantes to his
later years when he made hundreds of spiritual and religious works.
The volume also includes essays that introduce new scholarship to
redefine Tissot's placement within the narratives of the
19th-century canon.
