[edit] Edit

I have added details not available to the 1911 Britannica, but this really needs an up-to-date assessment of Tissot's work, which was much disparaged in its day (and since), but is of inestimable value to costume and cultural historians.

We also need some of his later religious paintings in the gallery for balance and completeness. - PKM 22:57, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Why was it disparaged? Drutt 02:22, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

do we really need this level of discussion of the Tissot family's family tree three generations after his death. Obviously it's an interesting matter for the family, but not of much historical interest. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.53.132.165 (talk) 17:40, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
