What splendid works of Art...Thank you for bringing Bargue's story to our attention...❤

Thank you for presenting Charles Bargue. His work is magnificent.

How is it possible that a great master painter of this caliber is so little known? Thank you very much for this video!

What a discovery this brilliant pupil of Gérome ! ...should he have lived longer he would have most certainly be rated along Meissonier and Gerome as the most talented 'academic' artist of the 19th ! century !

Thank you for introducing me to this artist. Not only am I in awe of his incredible ability to render, with remarkable precision, skin tones and textures, but of his graceful line drawings. It was mentioned that the artist didn’t have an easy life, but there was no discussion of the particular challenges he experienced. I can’t help but wonder what kind(s) of personal struggles he faced.

A marvellous video!! Thanks!!! We use the Bargue drawings in the Angel Academy of course; I particularly admire Bargue's figural line drawings that teach us how to design the figure, using a combination of looking at the model and drawing on an understanding of classical sculpture. Bargue's brilliant, rhythmic outlines interpret the edges of the shapes in terms of C-curves, S-curves and straight lines.

Great comment, thank you! Do you know where I can find out more about the principles of classical sculpture? I mean a blog post, book, video or similar :) thank you!

@@jascha9033 Hi Jascha, the best book I know of is Art and Experience in Classical Greece, by J.J. Pollitt. Learning how to apply these ideas, though, takes a few years of study: simplifying, breaking the outlines of the shapes into rhythmic sections as Bargue shows us in his figure drawings, and learning how to conceptualise the figure (or anything else), using only those suggestions from the model that are useful for our ideas. As I like to state it to my classes: it's a matter of seeing the Eternal beyond the Specific. Pollitt expresses this as the "representation of the specific in the light of the generic." You might want to look up the Theory of Forms on Wikipedia for a straightforward explanation of how the Greek sculptors thought of this.

Thanks for this illuminating video of Bargue. The problem he had and the reason he was likely so reluctant to exhibit at the Salon is that while his technique was flawless, his paintings were so derivative of Meissonier and Gêrome. In a period where innovation became synonymous with success, he seems to have fared poorly. But his instructional course is a lasting legacy.

Incredible artist! A master. Grateful for this very fine video. His was the color of gold.

Such a great presentation one of my favorite artist and unsung hero’s of the academic world

Amazon art.The first I've heard of him.

Mind blowingly brilliant.... Thanks so much for this feature on what is a little known artist outside of the art community & academics who's talents were beyond gigantic.

I started that drawing course some years ago and wished I'd have finished it.

Incredible artist

So amazing and thanks 🙏🏻 ❤
