James Tissot (French) • The Ball, later renamed Evening • 1878 • Musée d'Orsay

James Tissot is known for painting elegant beautiful society women attired in the latest Paris fashions. He was also known to alter some details of a particular outfit by painting in his own flourishes to suit his taste and enhance the over-all portrait. He was criticized for this habit but it was undeniable that fashion designers of the time were paying attention. In this way, Tissot was a fashion influencer of high Victorian society.

It's only natural that Tissot was interested in the attire of his well-to-do patrons. His father was a fabric merchant and marchand "de nouveautés"(seller of the latest dress items). He grew up among the very materials he would later paint. This duality suited him well, as he was one of the most successful genre and portrait painters of his time.

Some of the criticisms aimed at Tissot from the fashion world included inappropriate accessories – the hat in the above painting, for example, was not appropriate as evening wear, some claimed. Others were that Tissot's necklines and overly flounced, pleated skirting were outdated. It is believed that Tissot chose certain details and features of the costume to showcase his painting abilities. All things considered, a critic for L’Artiste magazine stated:

"Our industrial and artistic creations may perish our customs and our costumes may fall into oblivion, a painting by Mr. Tissot will be enough for the archaeologists of the future to reconstruct our era."

The Cherubim

• The bearers of the great mystery Praying in the spaces well-known but unseen That is the nature of the Cherubim. •

■ From an Akkadian verb 'karābu', meaning “to pray” or “to bless”

William Blake, Ezekiel's Wheels, 1803-05

Understanding the Cherubim isn't easy. Their description varies and so does their placement in the hierarchy of angels. In the Exodus, Israelites were to make golden statues of these beings for the ark of testimony. It was Them who took part in the expulsion of first humans from Paradise, as they are the sacred guardians of the Tree of Life. They appeared to the prophet Ezekiel as figures with four faces: one of man, one of an ox, a lion and a griffon vulture.

Thomas Aquinas, a medieval dominican friar and well-known scholastic philosopher, theorized that Satan himself comes from the order of Cherubs.

James Tissot, The Soul of the Good Thief, 1886-1894

Iconographically, the visual image of the Cherubim is most often rather similar to the one of the Seraphim, the highest order of angels. Since the Cherubim are considered to exist right next to them, dwelling in the first sphere and being closest to Godhead, maybe artists of our world found no reason to separate them visually.

Artistic iconography from the late 15th century turned the Cherubim into chubby child-like spirits with small wings, disregarding the fearsome nature of angels belonging to the order of Cherubim.

James Tissot, Jesus goes up alone onto a mountain to pray (detail)

“James Tissot... experienced a religious vision, after which he abandoned his former subjects and embarked on an ambitious project to illustrate the New Testament... Unlike earlier artists, who had often depicted biblical figures anachronistically, Tissot painted his many figures in costumes he believed to be historically authentic, carrying out his series with considerable archaeological exactitude.”- Brooklyn Museum
