CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: James Tissot |
 | | When the Commune came into power Tissot fled to England for fear of coming into conflict with the Government on account of the political intrigues of his brother. |
| | Tissot, however, was more of an illustrator than a painter, as is shown in the brilliant series of watercolours, "La femme à Paris", in which in careful, correct work done with much dash he lashed the follies of modern Parisian life. |
| | Tissot also designed a series of illustrations for the Old Testament, which, however, are not as fine as the earlier ones. |
