Rosa Bonheur itu apa sih?

Rosa Bonheur, nama kelahiran Marie-Rosalie Bonheur (16 Maret 1822 – 25 Mei 1899), merupakan seorang seniman Prancis, sebagian besar adalah pelukis fauna (Animalier) tetapi juga pematung, dalam gaya realisme. Lukisannya yang paling terkenal adalah Membajak di Nivernais (dalam bahasa Prancis: Labourage nivernais), yang dipamerkan di Paris Salon pada 1848, dan sekarang berada di Museum Orsay, Paris, dan Pasar kuda (dalam bahasa Prancis: Le marché aux chevaux), yang dipamerkan di Salon pada 1853 (diselesaikan pada 1855) dan sekarang disimpan di Metropolitan Museum of Art, di Kota New York.
