The plates are grouped by skill level, and the teaching is structured in such a way that the student acquires deeper and deeper knowledge as they progress through the exercises. This set of exceptional lithographs is adopted by international academies of classical art, it will remain the definitive reference for the highest level of teaching.Bargue Plates (for first registrations): In this first part of the Studio Programme, students must first complete the exercises in the Bargue Plate Drawing programme, from Charles Bargue's Cours de Dessin created in collaboration with the Great Master Jean-Léon Gérôme. The plates are available again from the original drawing course as they were proposed to academies in 1875.
This extraordinary drawing course has been resurrected in a lithography studio. He travelled extensively through North Africa, and the Balkans, during which time he executed many portraits of local people with meticulous detail. Bargue's last painting was completed by Gérôme and is now conserved in the Malden Public Library, Malden, Massachusetts, USA. Bargue worked closely with Gérôme and was influenced by his style, which included Orientalist scenes and historical genre. Among the artists whose work is based on the study of Bargue's plate work are Pablo Picasso and Vincent van Gogh, who copied the complete set in 1880/1881, and (at least a part of it) again in 1890.īargue was a student of Jean-Léon Gérôme. The Charles Bargue Drawing Course is used by many academies and ateliers which focus on Classical Realism. The course, published between 18 by Goupil & Cie, comprised 197 lithographs printed as individual sheets, was to guide students from plaster casts to the study of great master drawings and finally to drawing from the living model. He is mostly remembered for his Cours de dessin, one of the most influential classical drawing courses conceived in collaboration with Jean-Léon Gérôme.
