Further details
JACQUES-JOSEPH TISSOT CALLED JAMES TISSOT (1836-1906), BOARDING A SHIP OR VISIT TO A SHIP (ALSO KNOWN AS L'ARRIVÉE DE LA PARISIENNE À DOUVRES), OIL ON CANVAS, UNLINED, BEARS A SIGNATURE (TOWARDS LOWER LEFT, ON THE HULL)
Boarding a Ship or Visit to a Ship was part of the collection of Carle Dreyfus (1875–1952), before being inherited by his niece, Alice Goldschmidt (1906–2008), who married Maurice Stern (1888–1962). An expert in French sculpture, objets d'art and furniture, Carle Dreyfus worked mainly at the Louvre, for which he published several major works on the museum's collections. In 1933, he became curator of the Department of Decorative Arts, but was forced to leave his post in 1940 due to the Vichy regime's laws on the status of Jews. Protected by his colleagues, he went into hiding during the war. After the liberation, he advised the Commission for the Recovery of Artistic Property and participated in the restitution of stolen works. He then resumed his work at the Louvre Museum until his death in 1952.
We would like to thank Krystyna Matyjaszkiewicz for confirming the attribution of this painting to James Tissot (1836-1906) on the basis of a photographic examination of the work and for comparing its composition to that of The Emigrants.
