Artist:

James Tissot (1836–1902) was a French painter and illustrator known for his elegant and highly detailed depictions of 19th-century society and fashion. Trained at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, he first gained recognition for historical scenes but soon turned to painting the leisure and sophistication of modern life. After moving to London during the Franco-Prussian War, he became especially celebrated for portraying stylish women in refined settings—tea parties, garden strolls, and social gatherings—capturing the spirit of the Victorian era with precision and charm. Later in life, Tissot shifted focus to deeply spiritual works, producing a famous series of biblical illustrations. His career reflects both the luxurious surface of society life and a turn toward religious devotion, making him a distinctive voice bridging realism, fashion, and spirituality in 19th-century art.
