From front flap: "Rosa Bonheur, the daughter of an impoverished French painter, achieved a stupendous success in 1853 with her masterpiece, The Horse Fair, a monumental painting now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Her fame and her personal eccentricities brought worldwide attention to Bonheur She also earned disapproval from serious art critics and from those in society who could not accept her masculine clothing and mannerisms. Nevertheless, her animal paintings became very popular, enabling her to live in a fabulous chateau in the Forest of Fontainebleu along with a menagerie of exotic animals This book, inspired by Denise Brown Hare's visit to the Bonheur chateau in 1977, is the first illustrated study of the artist to be published in over seventy years." ; B & W and Color Illustrations ; Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall; 206 pp. Illustrated by Bonheur, Rosa (illustratore).
