Painting Description
"The Horse Fair" is a renowned oil-on-canvas painting by French artist Rosa Bonheur, completed in 1855. Measuring approximately 8 feet by 16.5 feet, it is recognized as Bonheur's most famous work and one of the most notable pieces of the 19th-century animalier school, a style that focuses on the realistic portrayal of animals. The painting depicts the horse market held in Paris on the Boulevard de l'Hôpital, near the asylum of Salpêtrière, which Bonheur attended twice weekly from 1850 to 1851 to make preparatory sketches.
Bonheur's meticulous attention to detail and her ability to capture the dynamic movement of the horses highlight her profound understanding of equine anatomy and behavior, skills she honed by visiting horse fairs, slaughterhouses, and studying animal anatomy at the National Veterinary Institute in Paris. "The Horse Fair" was first exhibited at the Paris Salon of 1853 and received widespread acclaim, enhancing Bonheur's international reputation. The painting was later shown in the United Kingdom and the United States, contributing to her status as one of the most famous female painters of the 19th century. The original painting is part of the collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Bonheur's work is often celebrated for its embodiment of the Romantic movement's ideals and its contribution to the burgeoning feminist movement in art, challenging traditional gender roles through her professional success and subject matter choices.
