I think "Christ Consoling the Wanderers" is a different painting by Tissot that is now at the Hermitage in St. Petersburg.
It seems that "Christ Consoling the Wanderers" may have been Tissot's first religious work -- that led thim down the path to his "Life of Christ" illustrated Bible series (of which the painting above is the pinnacle).
James Jacques Joseph Tissot (1836-1902)
Are you certain about that "alternative title"?

ReplyDeleteYou are definitely correct. I`ve made the change.
Now the question is: why did I do it ? After a year I`ve simply no idea.
I see that Brooklyn Museum have a special exhibition on just now regarding Tissot`s illustrated Bible series. Hopefully it will be well publicised.
