Rosa Bonheur’s The Horse Fair

Gallery 812 at the New York Metropolitan Museum

One of the most amazing artists of the 19th century Rosa Bonheur‘s life is exquisitely detailed in Catherine Hewitt‘s biography “Art is a Tyrant.” My favorite Bonheur is The Horse Fair which is monumental in scale a whomping 8’x17′! Worth making the trip (or many.) She was and remains a rock star of the art world!
