Art; Prints; Lithograph; James Tissot was a French painter who achieved great fashionable success in Paris in the 1860s before being forced to flee to London in 1871 by the Franco-Prussian War. During the eleven years he spent in London he continued to paint the elegant scenes of society life he had begun to do in Paris. 'The Gallery of H.M.S. Calcutta' is a fine example of his combination of sharp focus realism with a delicate sense of colour and light which relates him to the Impressionists in France and Whistler in England. 8 X 10 inches, matted, Fine. -
