Charles Bargue, born around 1826 and died on 6 April 1883, was a French painter and lithographer of extraordinary influence. He made his mark on the art world by developing an influential drawing course that formed the basis for the studies of many budding artists. In the lively art scene of the 19th century, Bargue became known above all for his innovative "Cours de dessin". This course, created in close collaboration with the renowned artist a href"/artist/Jean-Leon-Gerome.html" class"main_textlink"Jean Leon Geromea, took students from working with plaster casts to studying large master drawings and working with live models. Published by Goupil Cie between 1866 and 1871, the course comprised a total of 197 lithographs and still has a firm place in academies and studios specialising in classical realism. Greats such as a href"/artists/Pablo-Picasso.html" class"main_textlink"Pablo Picassoa and a href"/artists/Vincent-van-Gogh.html" class"main_textlink"Vincent van Gogha have based their work on the study of Bargue's plates, with Van Gogh even copying the entire set twice.rnbr/br/rnAs a pupil of Jean-Léon Gérôme, Bargue benefited from his experience and guidance. His collaboration with Gérôme, whose style encompassed orientalist scenes and historical genres, significantly influenced Bargue's own artistic development. Despite his intensive travelling through North Africa and the Balkans and his detailed portraits of the local population, his last painting was completed by Gérôme and is now in the Malden Public Library, Malden, Massachusetts, USA.rnbr/br/rnThe "Charles Bargue Drawing Course" has lost none of its extraordinary significance to this day. Thanks to the reactivation in a lithography studio, the plates are once again available as they were originally presented to the academies in 1875. They are used by international classical art academies and continue to be recognised as the definitive reference for high-class training. Our company honours the legacy of Charles Bargue by offering excellent art prints of his works. Each of these art prints is a testament to the talent and skill of Bargue and brings to life the allure of his original works. We endeavour to maintain the level and detail of Bargue's work in each and every art print, capturing the essence of his art.
