Tissot, James Joseph Jacques

Tissot, James Joseph Jacques (zhāmz zhôzef' zhäk tēsō') [key], 1836–1902, French painter and etcher. After participating in the Franco-Prussian War he stayed for 10 years in London, where he was highly esteemed for his genre scenes (e.g., The Ball on Shipboard). In 1882 he went to Palestine and devoted his life to a series of watercolor drawings illustrating the Bible. Many of these are in the Brooklyn Museum.
