Rosa Bonheur, born Marie-Rosalie Bonheur, ( 16 March 1822 – 25 May 1899 ) was a French animalière, realist artist, and sculptor.

Her father Oscar-Raymond Bonheur was a landscape and portrait painter and an early adherent of Saint-Simonianism, a Christian-socialist sect that promoted the education of women alongside men.

Her mother Sophie ( née Marquis ) who died when Rosa Bonheur was only eleven, had been a piano teacher.

Bonheur was born in Bordeaux ( where her father had been friends with Francisco Goya who was living there in exile ) but moved to Paris in 1828 at the age of six with her mother and brothers, her father having gone ahead of them to establish a residence and income.

As was traditional in the art schools of the period, Bonheur began her artistic training by copying images from drawing books and by sketching from plaster models.

It was Gambart who brought Bonheur to the United Kingdom in 1855.

The second account was written by Anna Klumpke, an American painter from Boston who made Bonheur ’ s acquaintance in 1887 while serving as a translator for an American collector of her work and who later became the older artist ’ s companion in the last year of her life.

This account, published in 1909 as Rosa Bonheur: sa vie, son oeuvre was translated in 1997 by Gretchen Van Slyke and published as Rosa Bonheur: The Artist's ( Auto ) biography, so-named because Klumpke had used Bonheur ’ s first-person voice.
