很少有画家能像詹姆斯·提索斯这样,把英国的上流社会描绘得如此之美。因此,许多人都以为他是英国人,而实际上他出生在法国南特,在巴黎美术学院学习绘画。19世纪六十年代,詹姆斯·提索斯奔赴英国,定居伦敦,一住就是十一年,在这里,成就了他一生最辉煌的业绩。詹姆斯·提索斯的作品充分展现了英国维多利亚时代的精神风貌。他的模特儿尽是些时装华美,周旋于19世纪英国上流社会的人,他的作品被其仰慕者以那一时期极高的价格收购。其实,詹姆斯·提索斯跟同时期的“拉斐尔前派”画家有很大的不同,他更关注现实生活,毫无怀旧的诗意浪漫。他的题材和画风都和现实紧密相连,可以说是一个社会风情画家。但回到法国的詹姆斯·提索斯却变成一个彻头彻尾的批判现实主义者。

Few artists, like James Tissot, portray the British upper class as beautiful. Therefore, many people think he is British, but in fact he was born in Nantes, France, studying painting at the Paris Academy of Fine Arts. In the 1860s, James Tissot went to England to settle in London, where he lived for eleven years. Here he accomplished the most brilliant achievement in his life. James Tissot’s work fully demonstrated the British Victorian spirit. His models are full of gorgeous fashion, dealt with in the 19th century British high society, his work was admired by the admirers at that time the high price of the acquisition. Actually, James Tissot is very different from the contemporary “Raphael” faction painter. He is more concerned with real life and has no nostalgic poetic romance. His themes and style are closely linked with the reality, can be said to be a social artist. But James Tissot, who returned to France, has become an out-and-out critical realist.
