Charles Bargue, initially a genre and portrait painter, is best known for his paintings. With Jean-Léon Gérôme he created a legendary drawing course ( Cours de Dessin ), which was published in Paris in the 1860s and 1870s. During most of the next half century, this collection of nearly 200 masterful lithographs was copied by art students around the world, taking students from plaster casts to studying the designs of the great masters, and ultimately drawing a living model. Bargue toured North Africa and the Balkans , which was reflected in his works of Orientalism .
Pablo Picasso and Vincent van Gogh used his work.
