The False Witnesses (Les faux temoins) - James Tissot - Hand Painted Oil Painting

At a Glance

Nothing softens a bedroom like a painted surface. The False Witnesses (Les faux temoins) by James Tissot arrives as a hand painted oil painting on canvas, offering the fine art detail, soft gradients, and tactile finish that fine art oil painting shoppers look for.

About the Artwork

1886-1894
Opaque watercolor over graphite on gray wove paper
Brooklyn Museum, United States.

Brought before a tribunal presided over by the chief priest Caiaphas, Jesus, bound in chains but standing with dignified calm, hears many give testimony against him, though none can agree on a charge or crime, much to the frustration of the priests.

Tissot visually conveys the accumulation of these accusations by filling the gallery at left with a frenzied crowd, each person raising his hand to be heard by the judges, who occupy an unseen but elevated dais at the top of the stairs to the right.

As bedroom wall art, the piece pairs naturally with other classic wall art and with warm neutrals, timber, and soft natural light.
