French painter and illustrator Jacques Joseph Tissot (1836-1902), later known as James Tissot, was born into a Catholic textile and a hat merchant family. Despite his father’s disapproval, Tissot wanted to become a painter. His mother supported him, however, and so at the age of 20 he went to Paris, where he enrolled at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. He successfully completed his studies and soon exhibited five paintings of scenes from Goethe Faust. He also exhibited his paintings with a medieval theme, but a turning-point came in 1863. Tissot began capturing portraits of modern life in Paris - Women in Paris - admirers of the circus. His paintings were positively received and immediately his fame equalled that of his peers, including Claude Monet. After fighting in the Franco-Prussian war, he moved his work back to London, where he painted modern and elegantly clad women. After the death of his wife Kathleen Newton, he again moved to Paris, where he lived and worked until his death. He was offered membership to artistic groups of various styles, but he never accepted such offers and was faithful to realism.
