A major national and international event, this exhibition honours an extraordinary, innovative and inspiring artist, Rosa Bonheur.
This artist, known as an icon of women's emancipation, placed the living world at the heart of her work and her existence. She was committed to the recognition of animals in their singularity and sought through her work to express their vitality and their “soul.” Through her great technical mastery, she was able to render both animal anatomy and psychology.
This exhibition allows the public to (re)discover the power and richness of her work, by gathering and choosing from the artist's immense body of work a demanding selection of approximately 200 works (paintings, graphic arts, sculptures, and photographs) from the most prestigious public and private collections in Europe and the United States.
