Oriental Excellence

Charles Bargue
c. 1826/1827- 1883

Mostly remembered for his drawing course "Cours de dessin", one of the most influential drawing courses ever created in collaboration with Jean-Léon Gérôme.
Bargue was a well known lithographer as well as a painter who some suggest was a student of
Gérôme, but there is no definitive truth to that. They did work closely to the point were his paintings were influenced by Gérôme with his oriental and historical scenes as well as his tonal color usage that bring all his characters to life. But by far his most grandest accomplishment or better said his most revered are the lithographs from the "Cours de dessin".
