James Tissot: The Life of Christ – Judith F. Dolkart

Description

After experiencing a religious vision, James Tissot (1836-1902) shifted his artistic focus and devoted himself to a project to illustrate the New Testament. This is the first comprehensive exploration of this extraordinary body of work.
The exhibition James Tissot: “The Life of Christ” includes 124 watercolors selected from a set of 350 that depict detailed scenes from the New Testament, from before the birth of Jesus through the Resurrection, in a chronological narrative. It marks the first time in more than twenty years that any of the Tissot watercolors, a pivotal acquisition that entered the collection in 1900, have been on view at the Brooklyn Museum.
