The Life and Work of James Tissot: Society Painter and Religious Artist

James Tissot (1836-1902), a notable French painter born in Nantes, made significant contributions to art after moving to London post-Franco-Prussian War. His intricate depictions of London society captured the essence of social events and drew both admiration and criticism for their photographic style. Tissot's fascination with the River Thames influenced many of his works, providing an evocative backdrop. In later years, he shifted focus to religious scenes, influenced by his travels to the Middle East, creating powerful, genuine representations of faith.

  50. James Tissot Paintings 1836 to 1902 James Tissot was born in Nantes, France. He studied art at Beaux-Arts in Paris and following the French defeat in the Franco-Prussian War, Tissot decided to move to London. This move must have caused problems in his life, and the painter needed to earn some money quickly. Tissot started to paint accomplished highly finished paintings of London society and social events. These paintings were an instant success with the art viewing and buying public, but not with the critics. His main criticisms of the time were that the paintings were really only painted photographs. There is some truth in this, though the paintings show dazzling technique, and a dash of Gallic wit and sophistication, the home grown English artists were quite unable to match. An attraction for Tissot was also the Port of London, and the river Thames. His paintings with the river as the background have an evocative atmosphere. One can almost smell the smoke, and hear the shouts of the dockers and watermen. In 1882 Tissot moved back to Paris. Initially Tissot carried on painting society and genre pictures in Paris, but soon gave this up, devoting the rest of his life to painting religious scenes. He visited the Middle- East twice to find genuine backgrounds for his religious paintings.
