Hide and Seek, c. 1887 - A Captivating Glimpse into Victorian Childhood
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This enchanting print captures a timeless moment of childhood innocence and playfulness in the late 19th century. Painted by James Jacques Joseph Tissot, "Hide and Seek" depicts a scene within the artist's own house in St Johns Wood. The composition showcases a beautifully furnished drawing room with exquisite rugs adorning the floor and animal skins adding an exotic touch to the decor. In this cozy setting, children engage in an exhilarating game of hide and seek, their laughter echoing through the room. Amidst this lively atmosphere, one can observe Mrs. Newton's daughter eagerly seeking her hiding companions while Tissot's mistress, Mrs. Newton herself, watches on with delight. The painting exudes warmth as sunlight filters through a conservatory window, casting gentle shadows across the scene. Tissot masterfully captures not only the joyous camaraderie between these young friends but also their fascination for books as one child engrosses themselves in reading during this playful interlude. With its meticulous attention to detail and vibrant colors that bring life to each brushstroke, "Hide and Seek" transports us back to a bygone era where simple games brought immense pleasure. This artwork serves as a testament to Tissot's ability to capture fleeting moments of happiness forever frozen in time. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC. , this piece continues to captivate viewers today
