The lithographic plates of Charles Bargue have become a standard part of academic practice in the ateliers, but it can be hard to find high quality reproductions of the original lithographs to use for study.
Fortunately a dedicated team of artists and technicians has reprinted many of the best plates using a painstaking process that included careful photography from the original Bargue set and printing on a historic press to match exacting standards.
"This plate represents "a horse's head, from the east pediment of the Parthenon showing the miraculous birth of the goddess Athena. This figure was carved like an isolated horse's head, pulling the chariot of the goddess Selene during the night."
"It captures the very essence of the stress felt by the animal. The ear is flattened back, the jaw gaping, the nostril flared and the eye bulging."
