About The Artist
Rosa Bonheur, born Marie-Rosalie Bonheur on March 16, 1822, was a renowned French artist, celebrated for her animal paintings and sculptures in a realist style. Notable works include "Ploughing in the Nivernais," showcased at the Paris Salon of 1848 and now housed in the Musée d'Orsay, and "The Horse Fair," exhibited in 1853 and currently in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City. Bonheur was considered the most famous female painter of the 19th century. Her personal life included a long partnership with Nathalie Micas, and later, American painter Anna Elizabeth Klumpke. While it's been suggested that Bonheur was openly lesbian, there is no conclusive evidence supporting this claim. She passed away on May 25, 1899.
