Please note: Artists not classified as American in our database may have limited biographical data
compared to the extensive information about American artists.
James Tissot is famous for his exquisite paintings of beautiful English
women and most people think he was English. In fact
Jacques-Joseph Tissot was born in Nantes, then a thriving port on the
Loire estuary in western France. He adopted the name James as an
Anglicised form when living in England.
His friends were Manet
and Degas, with whom he shared a teacher in the painting school in
Paris. Not a lot is known of his personal life except that around
1876 a myster (showing 500 of 3155 characters). |
