PRINTED REPRODUCTIONS OF TISSOT’S ILLUSTRATIONS in “Bible: Ancien Testament . . . par J.-James Tissot”. Paris: M. de Brunoff & Cie, 1904. Tissot sketched as he read Scripture; the paintings for all 400 Illustrations were based exclusively on these sketches. The first 200 were painted by him; the last were painted after his death in 1902 by Henri Bellery-Desfontaines, Auguste François Gorguet, Charles Hoffbauer, Louis van Parys, Michel Simonidy and Georges Bertin Scott.
