Rosa Bonheur Sold at Auction Prices

Painter, Sculptor, b. 1822 - d. 1899

Rosa Bonheur was a French painter and sculptor born in 1822 in Bordeaux. Taught by her art teacher father, Bonheur showed immense talent in her teen years. Rosa Bonheur's paintings reflected her intense study of her subjects and led her to produce true-to-life work that was regularly exhibited at the Paris Salon.  

Paintings by Rosa Bonheur are known for their immaculate attention to detail. Her most famous piece of realism art is The Horse Fair, which is housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. In 1865, Bonheur was the first female to be awarded the French Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour. Rosa Bonheur's drawings and realism prints were so popular in France and internationally that she was able to purchase a chateau near Fontainebleau, where she died in 1899. You'll find a wealth of outstanding vintage animal oil paintings for sale online and at auction.

              Pencil, black chalk, 2 of 9,5 x 31,5 cm and 2 of 5,0 x 14,0 cm (visible), 1 laid paper, 3 wove paper, few ms. notes in pencil, 1 signed in black ink "Rosa B." (sl. browned, few spots, sm. marg. tear). - Exceptional set of preparatory sketches of draft horses for Rosa Bonheur's (1822-1899) masterpiece "The horse fair", now in New York (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, inv. 87.25). The monumental painting depicts the Paris horse fair in a dynamic and impressive composition. For a year and a half Bonheur sketched there twice a week, having obtained permission from the police to dress as a man to discourage attention. Our drawings must date from this period and are similar to other preserved sheets (The Met, inv. 1991.463). The painting was presented at the Paris Salon in 1853 and became one of the most celebrated works of its time. - Ref. The Met, inv. 87.25.

Bonheur's dedication to the naturalistic and anatomically precise portrayal of animals sets her apart in an era that had few comparisons. Her works reflect a combination of direct observation and a deep understanding of her subjects, standing as a testament to her talent in capturing not only the anatomy but also the essence of equine subjects. The painting 'A Grey Breton Draft Horse' is a fine example of her ability to depict the nobility and strength of a working horse. With meticulous brushwork and subtle tonality, Bonheur highlights her intimate knowledge of equine form, presenting the drafthorse's robust build and serene temperament. 'Tethered Pony', offers a contrast in both colour and mood. The warm hues and the darker palette evoke a sense of intimacy and perhaps a narrative of the pony's quiet contemplation. The tether, a simple but poignant detail, suggests not only the physical state of being bound but also hints at a deeper, emotive state of restraint. This work, whilst less detailed, is no less significant in demonstrating Bonheur's skill in rendering the texture of the pony's coat and the lifelike portrayal of its stance. Bonheur's works are praised not only for their technical excellence but also for their emotive power and focus on working animals, opposed to the representation of riding horses or war horses more commonly illustrated at the time. These paintings invite viewers to contemplate the natural world and its beings, a hallmark of Bonheur's artistic philosophy. Her commitment to portraying animals in their most truthful state earned her international acclaim, with 'The Horse Fair' being one of her most celebrated artworks, which is now held in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. To depict her subject most accurately, Bonheur regularly went to the horse market dressed as a man in trousers to sketch her subject matter, as women were not allowed to visit the market. Collectors now have the opportunity to own a piece of Bonheur's celebrated career. These works which have never been seen on the Australian market are a fitting tribute to Bonheur's legacy, encapsulating her respect for animals and her mastery of painting.

              Rosa Marie (Rosalie) Bonheur French, (1822 - 1899) Belier Couche, recumbent ram figure bronze Signed to base. Biography from the Archives of askART: The daughter of an impoverished French painter, Raimond Oscar-Marie Bonheur, Rosa Bonheur was a famous 19th-century female artist known for her depiction of horses and for her eccentric lifestyle including dressing like a man and sketching at the Paris slaughterhouse. Her work in realist style, eclipsed by modernism, fell into obscurity during much of the 20th century. Rosa Bonheur spent her life in France but became associated with the American West as a collector of pictures of figures and animals associated with the frontier. She also had a set of prints of Native Americans depicted by George Catlin, Indian painter, and some of these she copied in later years. When Buffalo Bill Cody began appearances in Paris in 1889, she became a frequent visitor to his Wild West Show and made numerous sketches, with his permission, of persons and animals in the show. She also did a full-length portrait of Cody, which she presented to him, and into her later years, continued to do paintings of the American West with titles such as Buffalo Hunt, Indians Pursuing Wild Horses and Wyoming Stallion. Bonheur grew up in Bordeaux and Paris and began earning money at age 12 as a painter of heraldic designs for family and friends. She had no formal art training, although she studied with her father, assisted him as a teacher in his drawing school, and copied Old Masters at the Louvre. When her father died in 1849, she and her sister, Juliette, ran the school until 1860. That year, the sisters bought a chateau in the Forest of Fontainebleu, and calling it Chateau de By, it remained the primary home of Rosa and her life-long companion, Nathalie Micas. Many animals lived on the premises including boars, stags, horses, oxen and lions. She began sketching horses at the Paris horse market at the Boulevard de l'e Hospital and her greatest success came at the Paris Salon of 1853 with her entry, The Horse Fair. By the end of her career, she had nearly 50 entries in the Salon, many of them animal subjects. Among the honors she received for her work was a gold medal in 1855 at the Exposition Universelle in Paris, a ribbon in 1865 of the Chevalier de la Legion d'Honneur from Empress Eugenie, and honorary membership in the Royal Academy of Watercolorists of London in 1885. Bonheur died at Fontainebleau at age 77 from pulmonary influenza. Source: Phil Kovinick and Marian Yoshiki Kovinick, An Encyclopedia of Women Artists of the American West, p. 24
