James Tissot Cross Stitch Kits & Patterns (2)
James Tissot (1836–1902) painted the social world of Victorian England and Paris with a precision, elegance, and slightly satirical eye that makes his canvases feel as vivid and relevant today as when they were painted. The French artist spent years in London documenting the leisure pursuits, fashions, and social rituals of the Victorian upper and middle classes — garden parties, river picnics, society balls, and promenade scenes — with a technical brilliance and attention to fabric, light, and social nuance that is extraordinary. His women are always beautifully dressed, his settings always impeccably observed, and his compositions always charged with a narrative tension that makes you want to know the whole story. In counted cross stitch, Tissot's rich fabrics and exquisite detail translate into designs of real visual splendour.
