Lot Essay

This is an autograph replica in watercolor of the oil painting exhibited by Tissot at the 1863 Paris . The oil was bought from Tissot in 1865 by art dealer Alphonse Goupil, who arranged for it to be photographed and published. His son bought, and probably commissioned, this watercolor replica. Although the figures wear ‘medieval’ costume, as used by Tissot in work inspired by Goethe’s and in particular the tragic heroine Marguerite, the subject here is religious exile: Protestants exiled from Roman Catholic lands, or Catholics swept out by Reformation. Goupil’s photogravure of the oil was published in the USA with the title ; in France the photograph was published as .
