James Jacques Joseph Tissot 1836-1902 | French La femme préhistorique (Prehistoric Woman) Pastel on paper laid on canvas James Tissot was among the most successful and critically acclaimed artists of the Victorian era. Although the artist is celebrated for his elegant scenes of fashionable life in Paris and London, this work is a fascinating rarity within his oeuvre. In this monumental pastel, Tissot depicts a prehistoric woman draped in a tiger skin, presented with a striking pose and heroic air. His delicate portraiture, combined with his fascination with conveying texture, demonstrates why he was one of the most revered artists of his generation, and La femme préhistorique illustrates the remarkable technique for which he was renowned. This work was completed in preparation for a series of works exploring the Old Testament undertaken by Tissot from 1899-1902 that remained unfinished at the time of his death. A portion of this series focused on illustrations of Adam and Eve, and among these sketches were images of a nude Eve partially draped in animal furs. Towards the end of his life, following his conversion to Catholicism, biblical subjects became important to the artist. A few years before this work was completed, Tissot embarked upon a highly ambitious group of nearly 300 watercolors illustrating the New Testament, presenting the illustrated epic in its entirety at the Paris Salon of 1894. Both of these series were a critical artistic departure for the artist, stemming from a desire to create works separated from his typical images of modern society. This pastel imagines Eve as the prototype of womanhood in the guise of a prehistoric woman. Tissot rarely painted the nude, and his skill as a draftsman highlights the figure's natural beauty, contrasting it with the stark landscape surrounding her. Although a study, this monumental work is incredibly well-finished and highly engaging, with the statuesque model commanding the majority of the canvas. Her pose is strong and theatrical, and she addresses the viewer with a direct, confident gaze. The imagined historical subject of this drawing is grounded by Tissot’s exceptional attention to detail. A master of conjuring an array of textures, Tissot showcased this ability in this work by juxtaposing many types of fabrics and natural elements within one composition. The tiger skin with which the woman partially covers herself was a favorite studio prop of Tissot’s, appearing in many of his most influential works from the period, including several paintings of his partner and favorite model Kathleen Newton. It, in particular, showcases the artist’s understanding of texture, yet it also serves as an exotic element that elevates the sensuality of the scene when placed against the woman’s bare skin. Born in 1836 in the port town of Nantes, Tissot traveled to Paris at the age of 20 in order to join the studios of Hippolyte Flandrin and Louis Lamothe. During this period, he became close with James Abbott McNeill Whistler, Edgar Degas and Edouard Manet, and the impact of these friendships is reflected in his portraits of modern life. Having enjoyed considerable success in Paris during the 1860s, Tissot fought in the Siege of Paris, and after the fall of the Commune in 1871, he went to London, where he stayed for the next ten years. He was met with incredible success there, and he also met the love of his life, Kathleen Newton, a divorcée, with whom he lived from about 1876 until her death in 1882. Today he is regarded among the great masters of Belle Époque painting, and his works can be found in important collections worldwide, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Museum, the National Gallery of Art, the Musée d’Orsay, the Tate Gallery and many others. This pastel remained in Tissot's private collection until his death in 1902 and is referenced in the posthumous 1902-3 valuation of Tissot's home at 64 avenue du Bois de Boulogne in Paris.

James Tissot, pittore e incisore francese, nacque a Nantes il 15 ottobre 1836 e studiò alla Scuola delle Belle Arti di Parigi. I suoi primi quadri, prevalentemente di carattere storico e fortemente influenzati dalla scuola olandese, vengono esposti per la prima volta al Salon nel 1859 quando aveva solo ventitré anni. Ma presto Tissot cambiò il soggetto delle sue opere, dedicandosi alla rappresentazione di ambienti e personaggi della Parigi mondana, esprimendo magistralmente il fascino femminile. Compiuta la formazione artistica a Parigi con Louis Lamothe e Hippolyte Flandrin, in seguito al fallimento della Comune, dovette riparare a Londra, dove le sue scene di genere ispirate alla vita mondana e contemporanea e dipinte in stile realista riscossero un certo successo. Dopo la morte della sua compagna Kathleen Newton nel 1882, Tissot tornò a Parigi e attraversò una crisi mistica, come testimoniano le opere di questo periodo. Tratto peculiare della sua pittura è la caratterizzazione dei costumi e dei personaggi, mentre l’ironia si manifesta soprattutto nelle caricature eseguite per la rivista londinese “Vanity Fair”. Tissot si interessò molto anche all’arte applicata e, poco prima del 1880, cominciò a creare oggetti decorati in smalto.

Tissot painted "The Confessional" during the first stage of his career, before he left Paris and took up residence in London after the Commune in 1871. Although he was a friend of Courbet, Manet, and Degas, his style shows very little of their influence. His work is more descriptive than theirs, and he focused exclusively on the upper echelons of society. Tissot's women were the paradigm of contemporary feminine beauty and grace, against which Degas later rebelled with his piercing analysis of dancers, prostitutes, and bathers. Ostensibly a devotional image, "The Confessional" reads more like a fashion plate. The rich velvet of the woman's dress, satin bow on her hat, stiff lace cuffs, and fine striped shawl with long fringe thrown over her shoulders show her to be a woman of class and refinement. Only the linen handkerchief she holds in her right hand signals any remorse for the sins just confessed. The confessional, with its ornate moldings and carved floral decorations, serves as a foil for the subject's sumptuous outfit. Christopher Wood remarked that Tissot seemed less concerned with his sitters' religious sincerity than with her "decorative" quality (C. Wood, "Tissot," London, 1986:34). Tissot painted a variation on this theme, which appeared on the art market in 1999. These works were made long before the artist's conversion to Catholicism in the 1880s and convey a fair amount of ennui if not irony.
