Rosa Bonheur's career in Art
Although Bonheur's aspirations for a career in art were unconventional for women of the time, she spent years of careful study and closely following the development of artistic traditions before the sketches were immortalized on canvas.
Bonheur's reputation as an animal painter and sculptor grew in the 1840s. Many of his works were exhibited at the prestigious Paris Salon from 1841 to 1853.
