"An inspiring picture book about Rosa Bonheur, the most famous and best-selling painter of her century. In a stunning ode to underrepresented women everywhere, award-winning illustrator Ruth Sanderson tells the untold story of French artist Rosa Bonheur in this picture book biography. Rosa Bonheur was born in 1822 in France at a time when young women had limited options beyond being a wife and mother. But Rosa wouldn't stand for this. She wore pants, rode horses astride, and often broke society's rules. She wanted to be a famous painter just like her father. Female artists at the time were encouraged to paint domestic scenes of children and family, but Rosa was determined to capture the unbridled wild beauty of horses. Her masterpiece The Horse Fair was eight feet high and sixteen feet wide. Rosa went on to become the most celebrated artist of her time with paintings purchased by art collectors, museums, and galleries around the world. With the decline in popularity of realistic painting, Rosa's trailblazing story was almost forgotten. Revel at the bravery and fortitude of young Rosa as you take in Ruth Sanderson's immaculate rendition of her life and artistry"-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

Rosa Bonheur (b. 1822) was a French artist who painted horses, and showed and sold her work in her own lifetime (e.g. at the Paris Salon exhibition in 1853). Her painting "The Horse Fair" is now at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, but her work was almost forgotten after her death, with the rise of Impressionism and Modern art (and because she was a woman). Rosa never married, but had a beloved lifelong partner, Nathalie Micas.
Rosa's life from childhood through the exhibition of The Horse Fair is covered in the book, with four more full pages ("More About Rosa"), an author's note, recommended drawing books, sources, and image credits. ( )
