Holyday (Tissot painting)
''Holyday'', later also known as ''The Picnic'', is an oil painting by French painter James Tissot (1836–1902), painted in 1876. Tissot moved to England in the year 1871, when he was thirty five years old and settled there. Before moving to London, Tissot was a successful painter of Paris society.
It is in size. The painting shows a group of elegantly dressed men and women during a picnic at the pond in the painter's garden. The painting is characterized by the attention to detail and vivid colours. ''Holyday'' is held in London's Tate Gallery.
== Description==
''Holyday'' was painted in the back garden of Tissot's London home, near the Lord's Cricket Ground. Autumn is coming, the leaves of the large chestnut tree are changing color, but the rest of the vegetation is still green and luxurious. The low sun shines a bright afternoon light on the scene. On the right is the painter's wife, Kathleen Newton, who appears to avert her eyes from the scene. The men in the painting belong to the well-known ''I Zingari'' cricket club, judging by their yellow, red and black hats. The women are overdressed, one of Tissot's idiosyncrasies. The atmosphere is sensual and relaxed and demonstrates a British sense of superiority.
Stylistically, ''Holyday'' is striking because of its crystal-clear representation. The work is hyperrealistic and greatly detailed, with sparkling colors. The focus on daily scenes comes from Impressionism, which was ''en vogue'' in the Paris of those days. The influence of Manet can be recognized, also in the choice of subject, reminiscent of his ''Le déjeuner sur l'herbe'' (The Luncheon on the Grass). However, ''Holyday'' does not provoke but is suffused with a British conservatism.
