Talk:James Tissot

Edit
Wikiart calls one of his paintings "The Traveller" but here it's called "The Bridesmaid" I don't know how to tell which is more accurate. 2:06, 11 June 2017 (PET) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.233.166.25 (talk)

I have added details not available to the 1911 Britannica, but this really needs an up-to-date assessment of Tissot's work, which was much disparaged in its day (and since), but is of inestimable value to costume and cultural historians.

We also need some of his later religious paintings in the gallery for balance and completeness. - PKM 22:57, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

do we really need this level of discussion of the Tissot family's family tree three generations after his death. Obviously it's an interesting matter for the family, but not of much historical interest. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.53.132.165 (talk) 17:40, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Style/School of Art?
There seems to be no discussion of what "school" of art Tissot belonged to. For example, was he an "Impressionist?" A "Modernist" painter? Did he use a "Classical" style? (etc.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.199.204.112 (talk) 01:22, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
