After touring Europe and America to great success...
the entirety of Tissot's Life of Christ series was purchased by the Brooklyn Museum in 1900...
where they have stayed ever since.
Alongside the 340+ gouache color paintings that make up the primary body of this series, Tissot also included over a hundred pen and ink contextual drawings throughout his Gospel publication. These too have been preserved as part of the Brooklyn Museum's collection.
The presentation or gallery linked HERE is organized with the full color paintings first. They are divided into the major sections given in Tissot's Gospel and generally follow the chronology given in Dolkhart's The Life of Christ and Tissot's original publication. Next are as many of the supplementary illustrations as could be located, organized by subject category.
