Rosa Bonheur French Animal Painter Rosa (Marie Rosalie) Bonheur was born March 16th 1822 in Bordeaux, France. She is widely acclaimed as an animal painter and was influenced by the work of the English artist, Landseer. Rosa Bonheur was one of the most renowned animal painters in history. Her earliest training was received from her father, a minor landscape painter, who encouraged her interest in art in general and in animals as her exclusive subject. He allowed her to keep a veritable menagerie in their home, including a sheep that is reported to have lived on the balcony of their sixth-floor Parisian apartment. Bonheur's unconventional lifestyle contributed to the myth that surrounded her during her lifetime. She smoked cigarettes in public, rode astride, and wore her hair short. To study the anatomy of animals, Bonheur visited the slaughterhouse; for this work, she favored men's attire and was required to obtain an official authorization from the police to dress in trousers and a smock. While radical in her personal life, Bonheur was artistically conservative. Henri Cain would later recall that she "was not only an exceedingly intelligent artist, but a very conscientious and hard-working one....She believed in honesty in art and ever desired to keep very close to nature." Bonheur's reputation grew steadily in the 1840's; she exhibited her animal paintings and sculptures at the Paris Salon regularly from 1841 to 1853. The Salons tended to support traditional styles, and most artists still sought to exhibit at the annual shows, as it was the primary way for their work to be seen by the public. In 1845 Bonheur won a third prize and in 1848 a gold medal.

Bonheur, Rosa PAINTER (FRANCE) BORN 16 Mar 1822, Bordeaux - DIED 26 May 1899, By (near Fontainebleau) REAL NAME Bonheur, Rosa Maria GRAVE LOCATION Paris: Père Lachaise , Rue du Repos 16 (division 74, 2eme ligne (ashes)) Rosa Bonheur was the daughter of the landscape painter Raimond Bonheur from Bordeaux. Her mother was a piano teacher who died when Rosa was eleven. Her father had befriended Goya who lived in exile at Bordeaux until his death in 1828. After she was expelled from several schools and her father decided to educate her as a painter himself. By the time she was fourteen she copied paintings from the Louvre. She visited abattoirs and other locations to study the anatomy of animals. Her first succes came in 1849, when "Ploughing in the Nivernais", a commission by the French government, was exhibited. Her large painting "Horse Fair" was completed in 1855 and brought her international fame. Among her admirers was Queen Victoria and she met her in England in 1855 on her way to Scotland. In Scotland she made sketches for later works. In 1865 the empress Eugénie (who was regent at the time) awarded her the Légion d'Honneur. She was the first woman to receive this honour. When she did research for her painting "Fore de Chevraux" she visited the horse market in Paris wearing man clothes. She had a special 'permission de travestissement' from the police. She often dressed in men's clothers, sometimes stating that it was simply practical to do so because she was working with animals. But for 45 years she lived with a woman, Nathalie Micas. She had met Nathalie in her teens and after Nathalie's death in 1889 she had a relationship with the American painter Anna Klumpke. She died in 1899 and many of her paintings were sold at an auction in Paris in 1900.

Gift Voucher FAQ Bonheur, Rosa Rosa Bonheur Marie-Rosalie Bonheur Bonheur was the eldest child in a family of artists. Her father Raimond Bonheur was a landscape and portrait painter and an early adherent of Saint-Simonianism, a Christian-socialist sect that promoted the education of women alongside men. The Saint-Simonians also prophesized the coming of a female messiah. Her mother Sophie (neé Marquis) who died when Rosa Bonheur was only eleven, had been a piano teacher. Bonheur's younger siblings included the animal painters Auguste Bonheur and Juliette Bonheur and the animal sculptor Isidore Jules Bonheur. That the Bonheur family was renowned as a family of artists is attested to by the fact that Francis Galton, the cousin of Charles Darwin used the Bonheurs as an example of "Hereditary Genius" in his 1869 essay of the same title. Bonheur was born in Bordeaux (where her father had been friends with Francisco Goya who was living there in exile) but moved to Paris in 1828 at the age of six with her mother and brothers, her father having gone ahead of them to establish a residence and income.
