On the occasion of the bicentenary of Rosa Bonheur's birth, the Musée d'Orsay, in collaboration with the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Bordeaux, the artist's birthplace, is offering a retrospective exhibition not to be missed!
Known for her commitment to the emancipation of women, Rosa Bonheur has always placed the living world at the center of her work. Thanks to her technical knowledge and her strong sensitivity, she was able to represent the animal world from an anatomical but also psychological point of view. Her objective was to express the "soul" and the singularity of each animal. The result is a powerful and unique work.
The exhibition highlights the incredible richness of his creations, as well as the depth of his artistic vision. More than 200 works, paintings, sculptures and photographs, will make you discover or rediscover this extraordinary artist.
For more information, please visit the official website of the Musée d'Orsay.
From October 18, 2022 to January 15, 2023. Open Tuesday to Sunday, from 9:30 am to 6:00 pm. Thursday until 9:45 pm.
