The Artist’s Wives by James Tissot

Description

The Artist’s Wives (1885, also called “The Artist’s Ladies”) depicts a gathering of artists and their wives on the evening before the official opening of the the annual art exhibition known as the Salon. The occasion was referred to as Varnishing Day. The artists could put a final coat of protective varnish on their work, and they, the artist’s wives and their friends could view the exhibition privately. There is a great air of celebration when €œthe great effort of the year is over, and when our pictures are safely hung, and are inviting the critics to do their worst and the buyers to do their best!€ A grand banquet in the open air with hundreds of women seated on white linen bedecked tables are being served by waiters. The crowd includes a sprinkling of formally dressed men. In “The Artist’s Wives” James Tissot depicts this traditional celebratory luncheon on the terrace of the Cafe Ledoyen, The entrance to the Palais de l€™Industrie can be seen in the background.1885/France
