| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This is a study of Femme a Paris series (1883-1885) by the nineteenth-century French painter James Tissot (1836-1902). Through a detailed examination of primary documents including unpublished material such as the first exhibition catalogue, fashion culture magazines from the period, handwritten letters of Tissot, and the account books of related art galleries, this study examines the fifteen large paintings and printed works of the series, and explores Tissot's motivation, the creative process involved, and the main reasons behind the finally unpopular reaction from the public. Very conscious of the public's response, Tissot composed these oil paintings according to the conventions of the tableau while referring to commercial lithographic fashion prints. He then remade the oil paintings as etchings with the purpose of selling them to amateur art collectors. This, the study suggests, might be a method of creation original to Tissot.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
1871年からのロンドン時代の画業に研究の主眼が置かれてきたティソに関して、1882年のフランス帰国後、パリ画壇復帰を目指して取り組まれた≪パリの女≫シリーズの実態を精査し、油彩画と版画の双方の造形的特色を多角的に分析することを通して、本シリーズがティソ画業に占める重要性を新たに浮かび上がらせることができた。またその際、商業用・実用のリトグラフと愛好家向け・鑑賞用のエッチングという版画技法による位階的区別が存在し、当時、この価値観が大きく変化しようとしていた状況を指摘した。19世紀最終四半世紀の絵画と複製技術の関係に対して、美術史上の新たな研究視座を提示することができたと言えよう。
