Rosa Bonheur Marie-Rosalie Bonheur, usually called Rosa Bonheur (March 16, 1822-May 25, 1899) was a French realist painter. She was the sister of Auguste Bonheur, and the instructor of Anna Elizabeth Klumpke. Her work specialized in animals. She received a French government commission which lead to her first great success and was considered the most famous woman artist of her time. (Janson, 674) Her father was a landscape painter taught by Henri de Saint-Simon. She wore men's clothing only to facilitate her work with animals: "I was forced to recognize that the clothing of my sex was a constant bother. THat is why I decided to solicit the authorization to wear men's clothing from the prefect of police. But the suit I wear is my work attire, and nothing else. The epithets of imbeciles have never bothered me...." (Janson, 929)
The paintings are the excellent portrayal of the events and scenes
that we see around us. The painters are the best cameras of the
world. They reproduce many different types of pictures. They even
draw imaginary pictures that do not exist in this world. We tend
to use both thinned oil paints and dense oil paints. Masterpieces
can be dyed more than once, but each time it may be different from
the existing paintings.h Sitemap famous paintings | famous painters | painting styles | famous artists | mixed media painting | painting technique | oil paintings | canvas painting | life oil painting still | abstract art paintings | modern art work | fine art painting landscape | oil painting reproductions - media | history of paintings | oil painting - idioms | links | review painting articles | review painting news | press release | Kids Costumes | Women costumes |
