I love it when I visit a museum and discover a new painting. I found this painting, The Proposal, by James Tissot (1836 – 1902) during my last visit to the Cleveland Museum of Art. Large museums like Cleveland’s display only a portion of their collection, which means frequent visitors like me can still discover new paintings.
According to Cleveland’s website, the museum also has several excellent etchings by Tissot which are not currently displayed.
I like Tissot’s work so much I plan on doing a video for my YouTube channel.
