What you will discover is that the book is unavailable, pending the next (theoretical) printing. Get your email address on the Dahesh list in order to be notified if and when there is a reprinting, by sending your contact information to:

Probably wouldn't hurt to beg and plead a little.

There are a few used copies available from Amazon and elsewhere but at unconscionable prices ($350 and upwards to $500 or more).

Sharon,

I've scanned about twenty Bargue plates that I could share with you and others. Each scan is large enough that it could be printed nice and crisp at 8 1/2 x 11 inches or larger. Emily and Stacy have been copying from these printed scans.

Here is a large thumbnail of the Agrippa face. This is one of the more simple images to copy. Here too are a more complex Homer bust and a nice horse head, both a bit more advanced.

If there is interest on this forum, I could post all twenty (or more) plates as small images here and people could email me and I could send them large jpgs to print and use. We could also post a bit of instruction on how to go about making the copies.

If I could get a bit of time together, I could actually do this through my own site!

There would be no charge.

Oh how I wish to have the pleasure to see that lovely painting of the sentinel. It is one of my favorite. Here is my attempt and one of my favorite studies

Mischa,

That is just lovely. I can't wait to get my hands on the plates.

The Jpg. did not do it justice. The left chest of his top is so delicately depicted, a delightful swirl of pinks and cream.

Sharon, I have the talked about book which I purchased when it first came out. The book is an absolute gem.

I would love to see some close up shots of the sentinel if you have any. If you do not have them shame on you and I am utterly sad.

Mischa,

The close-up is from the web-site of the museum. It is not compressed and is the clearest reproduction I get get.

I did not know that painting was there until I came across it. I will try and get a close-up when I go there again, but it probably have to be in stealth mode. Things were a lot looser when I was a the Museum School there, knew many of the guards and ran around barefoot on the cool marble floors.
