Jacques Joseph Tissot (1836 – 1902), who became known as James Tissot by 1854, was a French painter and illustrator. He was a successful painter of Paris society before moving to London in 1871. In England he painted portraits and proceeded with his favorite subject – scenes from the life of society, but adapted to the English tastes, and soon gained a high reputation among the social elite, becoming famous as a genre painter of fashionably dressed women. He also made paintings illustrating the Bible.

Despite the success Tissot was attacked by most serious critics, including Oscar Wilde, Henry James and Ruskin, who saw in his paintings colour photographs of the vulgar nouveaux riches. This contemptuous appraisal did not stop his paintings selling. Around 1876, Tissot met Mrs. Kathleen Newton, a beautiful Irish divorcée, who became his model and mistress. He immortalized her in his paintings Quiet, Chrysanthemums and many others. After her death in 1882, he returned to France was no longer interested in painting ‘society’ and his emotional state made him retreat into religion. He visited the Holy Land in 1886-87 and in 1889 for careful geographical and ethnographic studies, and made hundreds of watercolor paintings illustrating the Bible. His watercolors on the New Testament were called “a revolution in religious art”. Tissot later made a series of illustrations for the Old Testament as well, but these ones were not as highly appreciated as the earlier ones.
