ABOUT THIS ARTIST
Rosa Bonheur
1822–1899
Nationality: French
(b Bordeaux, 16 Mar. 1822; d Thomery, nr. Fontainebleau, 25 May 1899). French animal painter. She was trained by her father, Raymond Bonheur (1796–1849), and was precociously gifted, first exhibiting at the Paris Salon in 1841, when she was 19. In 1853 she scored an enormous hit there with The Horse Fair (1853, Met. Mus., New York; reduced replica in NG, London), and it repeated its success when it went on tour in Britain and the USA.
She became well known not only for her work but also as a colourful and formidable character, outspoken in her feminine independence (she made drawings at such places as horse auctions and obtained police permission to wear men's clothes to avoid undue attention). In 1865 she was the first woman artist to become a member of the Legion of Honour. Her home at the Château de By, near Fontainebleau, is now a museum devoted to her.

Every once in a while you buy something you truly like, and when it arrives, it is stunningly better than you could have imagined. The portrait of Rosa Bonheur I purchased was very well packaged, arrived in a few days from the UK to California, and far exceeded my expectations. I could not be happier with my purchase. Denise takes her customers seriously and delivers superb customer service. I highly recommend OnLineAntiques for excellent service and top-end products. Thanks Denise !
