Atelier de Tanagra, Jean-Léon Gérôme, 1893.

I rarely post art depicting ancient Greece by Western painters because they tend to sterilize and, at the same time, orientalise the environments and people. But this is one of the few ones that, for some reason, made me feel like my ancestors were... real. I don't know how to better explain it. It makes me feel they had lives and problems just like me, and that here I'm glimpsing a part of their busy life. The shop and interactions within it feel very realistic to me.

Tanagra (Greek: Τανάγρα) is a town and a municipality in Boeotia, Greece. Close to Thebes, it was noted in antiquity for the figurines named after it. The Tanagra figurines were a mass-produced, mold-cast, and fired type of Greek terracotta figurine produced in the later fourth century BC, primarily in Tanagra.

Édouard Bisson

Occasionally one, even the most pretentious of art appreciators, wants to just revel in something pretty. That's how I feel with Édouard Bisson's (1856–1939) work. It's pure romanticism celebrating captivating female beauty in a fin de siècle aesthetic. Women emerge from these soft magical surroundings, as their billowing gowns defy gravity. Nymphs are greeted by reoccurring putti. Even the portraits grounded in a more "realistic" (and I use this term loosely) setting. Tropical or softly-blended backgrounds are transplanted behind these sitters, their dresses caught as if in a breeze. These scenes are transportantional in their touch of magic.

Bisson studied under Jean-Léon Gérôme (1824-1904). One can recognise the traits he developed under his tutelage, such as the aspect of the less-than-accurate representation of reality dominant in the Orientalism movement.

Specializing in figurative genre painting, and some mythological scenes, Bisson held a successful career. He become a member of the Salon and received numerous awards and critical acclaim over the years.
