Rosa didn’t just paint outside the expected frame. She lived there.
If we want to understand Rosa’s life, we have to begin not with the public, but with the person who shared the most time within it. Nathalie Micas, born in 1824, met Rosa when they were both young girls.

Rosa Bonheur, urodzona 16 marca 1822 roku, była pionierką sztuki realistycznej w XIX wieku, szczególnie znaną z pełnych życia obrazów zwierząt. Jej prace, takie jak "Targ koni", pokazują niezwykłą dbałość o szczegóły i głęboką miłość do fauny. Bonheur odważyła się łamać konwenanse jako kobieta, artystka i człowiek. Dzisiaj świętujemy jej życie i twórczość! #RosaBonheur #Sztuka #Realizm (fot. Wikipedia)

"Martin, a Terrier," Rosa Bonheur, 1879.
French painter Bonheur (1822-99) was a daring woman in many ways. Her personal life courted controversy; she dressed in men's clothing and openly had love affairs with other women, at a time when such things could get one arrested. She insisted on being educated and trained as an artist at a time when that route was not open to women. And she insisted on painting animals when everyone else was doing classical human figures.
It was her devotion to her animal art that really paved the way for her in a society that might not otherwise approve. When other artists would use animals in a symbolic or satirical sense, or be overly melodramatic or sentimental, Bonheur depicted animals the way other portraitists depicted people; she strove to communicate their soul to the viewer.
It's unknown who commissioned this painting, but evidently it was a fairly wealthy person who wanted a depiction of a faithful hunting dog. Martin is realistically and meticulously rendered, and she shows his intent, yet soulful expression without resorting to mush.
Happy Portrait Monday!

"El Cid (Lion Head)," Rosa Bonheur, 1879.
Bonheur (1822-99) was an animaliere, or an artist who specialized in animals. Her portraits of wild and domestic animals, sometimes people's beloved pets, are remarkable for their realism but also lacking the sort of saccharine sentimentality that one might expect.
She would go to fairs and circuses in trousers (requiring a special "transvestite permit" to do so) and paint animals there; she even painted animals used in Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show when it played in Paris. She exhibited at the Chicago World's Fair and received the Legion of Honor in her native France, the first woman artist to be honored. A portrait of her, by Edouard Dubufe, has her with her arm around a bull...that she painted in herself.
Bonheur broke gender norms; she was an independent and successful artist, wore men's clothing, lived openly with other women, and enjoyed a freedom and power usually only reserved for men. She was known to view men as stupid and said the only men she had time for were the bulls she painted. Or this lion, who seems to express the wildness and determination that she felt in her own life.
Happy Portrait Monday! (And yes, animal portraits count.)

Ha tiens, j'ai un colis qui est arrivé chez #PokéLégende, la boutique de mangas de #Thomery, qui a eu droit à son propre #SpaceInvader, ça me permettra d'en prendre des nouvelles, et de son voisin, plus esprit #RosaBonheur. L'aller retour en vélo en revenant par le long de la Seine et du Loing, 31 minutes selon Google. Je ferai ça demain, après avoir monter les étagères du cellier, enlever le gravier de la montée du garage, déplacer les plans de thym, fini de poncer la table, fait le ménage dans la chambre dite d'@emeline, histoire d'accueillir la famille, laver les draps, fait le grand ménage, et on sera bien dimanche ou lundi, non ? bisous les MastoGueux !
