Within the scope of the exhibition “Biography of the Trace. Drawing Collection (1836-1920) ”, patent in MNAC (Sala dos Fornos) from 7 February to 31 May 2020, curated by Maria de Aires Silveira, the MNAC Educational Service provides its visitors and friends with a real drawing experience with a technique widely disseminated and practiced in academies in the 19th century.

 

Taught by Nelson Ferreira, painter, draftsman and Drawing teacher, with extensive tutorial experience in national museums in Portugal and England, the courses are aimed at the general public, from beginners to professionals.

 
As the trainer says, the “Bargue course was the most acclaimed method in the 19th century to train the great geniuses of drawing, with a real ability to draw (by eye, without taking any measures except the height and the total width). This rigorous training is similar to the studies that academic artists like Soares dos Reis, José Malhoa or John Singer Sargent did (as well as modernists who knew how to draw, like Picasso). ”
