Rosa Bonheur was the most popular artist in France in the 19th Century. She was also one of the first renowned animal painters. She was the oldest of the four children born to Raimond Oscar Bonheur and Sophie Marquis. Rosa was a professional artist with a successful career. She was the First woman to be awarded the prestigious Grand cross by the French Legion of Honor. Her mother was a musician while father was an art teacher. Her father taught drawing and landscape painting and was a member of the Saint Simeon society. While teaching Rosa the artistic techniques, he also encouraged her to be independent and to consider art as a career. Rosa’s mother died when Rosa was only 11 years old, so she was taken by the Mica’s family who resided nearby. Rosa had already been trained by her father when she began her career as a professional artist. She learnt by sketching masterworks of the Louvre and later by studying with Leon Cogniet. Since Rosa’s favorite subject was animals, she learnt their anatomy thoroughly by dissecting them in local slaughter houses. Study of animal by direct observation led to the formation of the realist style in which Rosa worked from 1842 to 1853. In 1849, she won the Paris Salon’s gold and got a commission to paint “plowing on the Nivernais by the French government. Today, Framed Rosa Bonheur art can be found in several Galleries and art collections Worldwide. Her work continues to inspire those who want to take arts as a career.
