Young Lady in a Boat by James Tissot, Private Collection.
Tissot concentrated on popular subjects for his artwork, first young fashionable women and finally the Bible after he found religion. Critics considered his work "fluff" but he did well for himself in Paris and London.
Holiday (The Picnic), c. 1876 by James Tissot, Tate Gallery London.
Painted in the backyard of his London home, Tissot's artwork often depicts beautiful women in fashionable clothes and the men who admire them. For a while his work was disregarded as frivolous, but his had a revival as his skill and technique became appreciated once again.
