"Angel Blowing a Trumpet, after Michelangelo" is a lithograph created by Charles Bargue as part of his influential drawing course, "Cours de dessin," which was first published in the late 19th century. The lithograph is a reproduction of a detail from Michelangelo's renowned fresco "The Last Judgment," which adorns the altar wall of the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City. Bargue's work is part of a series intended to provide art students with exemplary models from classical art to study and emulate, a common practice in academic art education during that period.

The lithograph depicts an angel with a muscular, dynamic form, captured in the act of blowing a trumpet. This image is emblematic of the Mannerist style that Michelangelo employed in his later works, characterized by exaggerated proportions and complex poses. Bargue's rendition not only serves as a study of Michelangelo's artistry but also reflects the 19th-century French academic art values, emphasizing draughtsmanship and the study of the great masters.

Charles Bargue's "Cours de dessin" was co-authored with Jean-Léon Gérôme and became a fundamental part of the academic curriculum in art schools across Europe and the United States. The course consisted of lithographs that were widely distributed and used for teaching purposes, influencing generations of artists. The "Angel Blowing a Trumpet" is a testament to the enduring legacy of Michelangelo's work and its impact on art education, as well as to Bargue's role in shaping the practices of academic drawing instruction.
