in having to recreate a master drawing for one of my art classes, i looked around for good (and free) online images of illustrations by the great french artist paul pierre prud’hon. but i couldn’t find any good resources with hi-resolution images. so i went ahead and made one. here you will find 25 images of prud’hon’s classic female and male nude studies & drawings that i scanned from various books. and they are available in a very hi-resolution .zip archive for you to download. the 25 gallery images shown in this post are previews of all the images in the archive, but they are no more than 900 pixels wide or tall (not great for printing). the archive folder contains the hi-res jpeg files of paul pierre prud’hon’s academic drawings, scanned at 300dpi. they are excellent for printing and for reference.

Download all of the above images by the Paul Pierre Prud’hon in hi-res, jpeg format by clicking the link below:

bibliodyssey: pantagruel-i bibliodyssey: Chris Buzelli bibliodyssey: Encylopaedia Londinensis someone has gone to a lot of trouble to document a lot of cool illustrations all in one place. please visit the wonderful blog bibliodyssey when you get a chance. take your time. lots to see. i found bibliodyssey via a boing-boing post about surrealist illustrations done by françois desprez for the book Gargantua and Pantagruel. here are two must see posts: pantragruel I and pantragruel II. lovely & freaky illustrations! also, check out the post figuratively speaking. it has an outside link to the digital collections from the library of congress on the rare book Bizzarie Di Varie Figure. so great! the post on arthur rackham is also nice. it just keeps going! bibliodyssy is a gold mine!
