When Fame makes out her cata-
logue OF notab1es of the Nineteenth
Century she will emb1azon high on
the roll of honor the name of J. James
Tissot, who is today acknowledged
one of the foremost artists Of his time.
This gifted and versatile genius
was an artist of the world until he
attained his fiftieth year, when an in
spiration seemed to take hold Of him
"a desire to portray the real scenes
and the real life of Christ. Not only
was it a virgin field filled with vast
possibilities of art; but a great life
work appealed to his genius.
He left his old life and journeyed to
Egypt. Turkey and Palestine. From
a wording he became devout Chris
tan. The atmosphere OF the hills and
wales, SO coupled with the name Of
Christ, thrilled and inspired him, to
the work that will live for centuries
the only illustrations that in nineteen
hundredyears have attempted to truth
fully portray the scenes, faces, habits,
passions. virtues and crimes of the
time, people and country of Christ.
The text of Holy Scripture supplied
the theme, then the artist sought out
the scene and fitted each character into
that real background. giving it the at
r1osphere and color impossible to the
artist in Rome or Paris or in some
isolated monastery.
This great work is the most realistic
and truthful illustration Of the four
Gospels that has ever been made.
Produced by the rare combination Of
means to travel and study, the master
skill to execute, and the devotion Of
the enthusiast that never tired in the
vast labor of ten years. averaging the
marvellous execution Of master paint
ing each week of those years.
And yet each picture stands out
strong and Iife-like, as though it were
individually the product OF months Of
study.
