James Tissot's Bible illustration of King David's army commanders resurfaces
Original: KING DAVID. Les chefs de l'armée (1 Chronicles 26:30) in "La Sainte Bible: Ancien Testament . . . par J.-James Tissot" B
A 1904 plate by painter James Tissot depicting the commanders of King David's army, from 1 Chronicles 26:30, is circulating again. The work belongs to Tissot's illustrated edition of the Old Testament, published by Brunoff, with related pen-and-ink sketches held in a John Rylands Library copy. Tissot's biblical series remains admired for its detailed, researched depictions of ancient Israelite life.
Why now: Tissot's lavishly illustrated Bible is periodically shared and discussed among art and biblical-history enthusiasts.
