Info
The Bargue-Gerome Drawing Course is a complete reprint of a famous, late nineteenth century drawing course. It contains a set of almost two hundred masterful lithographs of subjects for copying by drawing students before they attempt drawing from life or nature. Consequently it is a book that will interest artists, art students, art historians, and lovers and collectors of drawings. It also introduces us to the work and life of a hitherto neglected master: Charles Bargue. The Drawing Course consists of three sections. The first consists of plates drawn after casts, usually of antique examples. Different parts of the body are studied in order of difficulty, until full figures are presented. The second section pays homage to the western school of painting with lithographs after exemplary drawings by Renaissance and modern masters. The third part contains almost sixty academies or drawings after nude male models, all original inventions by Bargue, the lithographer.

An expensive book but well worth it. I would recommend this book for anyone wanting to learn to draw people and to prepare them for life drawing. You will need to copy and enlarge the plates in the book to get the full benefit of the course- you will need to consider the expense of this before buying the book.

One of the top reference books in classical drawing. A bit expensive though as you can download it free (in PDF) on the web.
