詹姆斯-迪索，布面油画，1876年，哈普沃斯-韦克菲尔德美术馆藏，74.8x118cm
On this day in 1836 James Tissot, a French painter whose works were torn between Impressionism and Realism, was born. Tissot at some point in his life moved to London. There, he painted a couple of works that depict a British military man in uniform, accompanied by two women, surrounded by a body of water, and, notably, not on active duty. The painter loved such anecdotical scenes. He combined them with the depiction of elegance and confidence of the French ruling class, from the toes of their well-polished shoes to their silk top hats. His mastery of perspective is impressive, the intricacies of décor and clothing dazzling. With photographic realism, he catalogs the tiniest details of foliage, the fringe on armchairs, the glint on sherry glasses, and the checks on trousers.
1836年的今天，法国画家詹姆斯-迪索（James Tissot）诞生了，他的作品经常在印象主义和现实主义之间徘徊。迪索在生命中的某个时刻搬到了伦敦。在那里，他画了几幅作品，都描绘了一名身着制服，身边陪伴着两名女性的英国军人，置身于一片水域之中，值得注意的是，他不是在执行任务。迪索非常喜欢这样的轶事场景。他将它们与对法国统治阶级的优雅和自信的描绘结合在一起，从精心抛光的鞋子到丝绸礼帽都可以看出。迪索对透视的掌握让人印象深刻，他描绘的错综复杂的装饰和服装令人眼花缭乱。他以摄影般的写实主义方式记录了叶子、扶手椅上的流苏、雪利酒杯上的闪光以及裤子上的格纹这些最微小的细节。
This painting was created in 1876. It was an important time for the artist because he then met Kathleen Newton, a divorcee who became the painter's companion, frequent model, and the love of his life. She also gave birth to a son, Cecil George Newton in 1876, who is believed to be Tissot's son. She moved into Tissot's household in St. John's Wood and lived with him until her death in the late stages of consumption in 1882. Tissot frequently referred to these years with Newton as the happiest of his life, a time when he was able to live out his dream of a family life.
这幅画创作于1876年。对于画家来说，这是重要的一年，因为他遇到了离婚的凯瑟琳-纽顿（Kathleen Newton），她后来成为了迪索的伴侣、长期模特和他一生的挚爱。她还在1876年生了一个儿子，名叫塞西尔-乔治-纽顿（Cecil George Newton），据信是迪索的儿子。她搬进了迪索在圣约翰伍德的家里并和他一起生活，直到1882年她在肺疾晚期去世。迪索常称与纽顿在一起的那些年是他一生中最幸福的时光，在那段时光里他能够真正实现对于家庭生活的梦想。
