"James Tissot in England 1871-1882" is a scholarly book that explores the life and work of the French artist James Tissot during his time in England. After immigrating to England due to the Franco-Prussian War in 1870, Tissot experienced a successful career characterized by his French technique and fine humor. The book examines the reactions of English art critics to Tissot's works and highlights the cultural differences between French and English art. It also challenges the widespread assumption that criticism of Tissot's style was detrimental to his career in England. Instead, it argues that his art, which often addresses the role of women in the 19th century, has gained appreciation in recent decades. This book is aimed at art and social historians, art critics, scholars, art educators, and anyone interested in the art and cultural values of the Victorian era.
