Jesus Wept (Jésus pleura) James Tissot (French, 1836-1902). Jesus Wept (Jésus pleura), 1886-1896. Opaque watercolor over graphite on gray wove paper, Image: 6 3/4 x 8 15/16 in. (17.1 x 22.7 cm). Following the death of his friend Lazarus, Jesus goes to Bethany to comfort Martha and Mary Magdalene for a loss that he also felt keenly. Both women lament that Jesus was absent when Lazarus took ill, knowing that he would have prevented the death with his healing powers. Affected by the loss, Jesus weeps. Led to the darkened tomb of Lazarus, Jesus commands the removal of the stone covering the opening and, after a prayer to God, resurrects the dead man before witnesses who gasp in astonishment. European Art 1886-1896

The Elders at the Gate James Tissot (1836-1902/French) Jewish Museum, New York, USA

Jesus Unrolls the Book in the Synagogue (Jésus dans la synagogue déroule le livre) James Tissot (French, 1836-1902). Jesus Unrolls the Book in the Synagogue (Jésus dans la synagogue déroule le livre), 1886-1894. Opaque watercolor over graphite on gray wove paper, Image: 10 11/16 x 7 9/16 in. (27.1 x 19.2 cm). In Lukes telling, Jesus returns to Nazareth, the town of his childhood, and goes to the synagogue on the Sabbath. Reading a passage from Isaiah, he declares himself the fulfillment of the prophets words, as the means of redemption and healing for the marginalized, afflicted, and oppressed. Those gathered in the synagogue react with wonder to find the prophecy realized in one of their own—“Josephs son,” as the group calls him. However, Jesus warns that his path promises hardship, even among friends: “No prophet is accepted in his country.” Tissot pays particular attention to the costumes of the worshippers and the setting of the synagogue. Note the shawls worn by those at praye

Opaque watercolor over graphite on gray wove paper, Image: 8 5/8 x 6 5/16 in. (21.9 x 16 cm). When Jesus heals a man with a withered hand on the Sabbath, he flouts rules against work and further upsets the devout. Although Jewish law permitted the saving of lives on the holy day, Jesus defies the rigid rules of the Sabbath by extending his help to a man afflicted but not threatened with death. European Art 1886-1896

The Presentation of Jesus in the Temple (La présentation de Jésus au Temple) James Tissot (French, 1836-1902). The Presentation of Jesus in the Temple (La présentation de Jésus au Temple), 1886-1894. Opaque watercolor over graphite on gray wove paper, Image: 8 3/4 x 6 in. (22.2 x 15.2 cm). Forty days after the birth of Jesus, the Holy Family travels to Jerusalem to initiate the child into the service of God at the Temple and to offer a modest sacrifice: the caged pigeons or turtledoves held here by Joseph. Taking the infant into his arms, the aged priest Simeon acknowledges the child as the Christ, or Messiah. Throughout his commentaries, Tissot refers to both historical and modern sources to demonstrate his extensive knowledge of the Temple precinct in ancient Jerusalem. He locates the Presentation at the top of the steps that led to the altar of burnt sacrifice. Further, he takes to task the sixteenth-century Venetian painter Tintoretto, one of his most illustrious art-historical pr

The Crowning of Thorns (Le couronnement d'épines) James Tissot (French, 1836-1902). The Crowning of Thorns (Le couronnement d'épines), 1886-1894. Opaque watercolor over graphite on gray wove paper, Image: 14 3/16 x 9 11/16 in. (36 x 24.6 cm). Following the scourging, or flagellation, the Roman soldiers clothe Christ in a scarlet cloak, thus mocking his claims to royalty. Tissot reminds his readers of the colors associations in Jewish tradition, noting that wearing this color marks Jesus as the bearer of humanitys sins. Tissot discusses in great detail the construction of the crown of thorns shown here, the base of which, he claims, was formed by a band of rushes and could still be seen at the Cathedral of Notre-Dame in Paris among its collection of relics. Rather than a wreath of thorns, which would have largely confined the pain to the area around the temples, Tissot surmised that the crown was actually shaped like a domed hat (this can be more clearly seen in later scenes); the bl

Having departed from the Temple, as Tissot notes, for the final time, Jesus sits with a small group of his disciples: Peter, James, Andrew, and John the Evangelist. Against the backdrop of the Temple complex and the thick, fortified walls of Jerusalem, he prophesies the destruction of the Temple and its splendoran event understood by the group as marking the end of times.

Jesus, Mary Magdalene, and Martha at Bethany (Jésus à Bethanie, Marie, Madeleine et Marthe) James Tissot (French, 1836-1902). Jesus, Mary Magdalene, and Martha at Bethany (Jésus à Bethanie, Marie, Madeleine et Marthe), 1886-1894. Opaque watercolor over graphite on gray wove paper, Image: 7 15/16 x 11 3/16 in. (20.2 x 28.4 cm). Invited to Bethany, where the siblings Lazarus and Martha reside, Jesus finds respite from his ministry and peace to converse with friends. Intent on listening to Jesus, the Magdalene takes a place at his feetmuch to the frustration of Martha, who expects her help with the guests, Tissot relates. The Magdalene’s devoted discipleship proves unflagging throughout the narrative from the ministry to the Passion and the Resurrection; and, accordingly, her posture here at the feet of Christ finds echoes in later episodes. European Art 1886-1894

The Disbelief of Saint Thomas (Incredulité de Saint Thomas) James Tissot (French, 1836-1902). The Disbelief of Saint Thomas (Incredulité de Saint Thomas), 1886-1894. Opaque watercolor over graphite on gray wove paper, Image: 7 13/16 x 5 5/16 in. (19.8 x 13.5 cm). The apostle Thomas, who had received the news but not a visit from the risen Christ, refuses to believe in the reality of the Resurrection. When Christ again appears to the disciples, Thomas is still not convinced and, for confirmation, wants to put his fingers into Christs wounds. Jesus invites him to do just that but then reproaches him for his lack of belief. Now kneeling before his master, Thomas hangs his head in shame, as Jesus bares his wounded side and declares to Thomas, as well as to all who doubt, “Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.” European Art 1886-1894

When Jesus dines in the house of one of the Pharisees, he does not wash his hands though Jewish ritual demanded it. When reproached by his host, Jesus, in turn, indicts the Pharisees for their hypocrisy: their emphasis on the appearance of righteousness through ceremony rather than true belief. In Tissots painting, Jesus condemns this group—much to their dismay and protest—with a dynamic gesture. European Art 1886-1896

The Meal in the House of Matthew (Le repas chez Mathieu) James Tissot (French, 1836-1902). The Meal in the House of Matthew (Le repas chez Mathieu), 1886-1896. Opaque watercolor over graphite on gray wove paper, Image: 7 11/16 x 10 1/2 in. (19.5 x 26.7 cm). Jesus further shows his acceptance of those rejected by society by inviting Matthewa publican, or toll collectorinto his ministry, as he passes his booth. Not only were these tax collectors considered unscrupulous, but they were also particularly loathed by devout Jews for their status as representatives of the ruling Romans. Tissot has included camels and the hint of a wide-arched gate to underscore Matthew’s location at a geographical (and perhaps, spiritual) crossroads, as well as adding an Eastern flourish. After Christ calls Matthew to his teachings, he takes a meal in the home of his new disciple, an act that occasions the suspicion of devout passersby. In answer to questions of his motives, Jesus merely replies that, like
