An Introduction to Rosa Bonheur and 'The Horse Fair' | National Gallery

[@barbarajohnson1442]

Thank you for giving this great passionate painter her due! I love visiting her masterpiece painting at the Met

[@oowaz]

I appreciate this painting so much more after learning the story behind it, it was already one of my all time favorites, thanks for sharing this!

[@nationalgallery]

Our pleasure 😊

Rosa was an artistic genius and I admire the fact that not only did she break barriers women faced in her day, but she did not hide the fact she was a Lesbian and lived openly with another woman. A real role model for the LGBT community!

[@Semper_Iratus]

Well done thank you, so much more to know.

[@elfiecrystal111]

Thanks for this lively informative video on Rosa Bonheur - charming host as well.

[@TarunoNafs]

Thank you for sharing about this respectable painter! I am going to research more on her works!

The editing of this video makes the final result hard to watch. Whoever is responsible for it should have a rethink about their methods.

[@deefrazier3539]

Very nice informative story. Thank you.

The Haggin Museum in Stockton, California, has a collection of Rosa Bonheur paintings. They also have a huge collection of Leyendecker paintings as well as Albert Bierstadts among many other great artist's works.

Thanks for the thought-provoking discussion. I understand the editor’s desire to avoid the talking-head syndrome, but the distracting, purposeless quick cuts and split-screen tricks really undermine the whole production. (To be fair, other aspects of the sound and visual editing were quite well done.)

Thanks to this video I just bought a print from the NG for my wife's birthday

Rosa was a great painter. But I'm not sure how you can say that she was greater and had a more international reputation than Vigee LeBrun a century before. LeBrun was court painter and friend of Marie Antoinette, and painted across the continent, including Russia and Poland. I knew of Vigee LeBrun decades before Bonheur.

Q

[@mariapilarme]

The biggest version is on the British Museum if I am remember correctly! Wonderful painter! Thanks

[@thetawaves48]

so, there were two versions of the "Horse Fair." one in the National Gallery, one in the Met.

[@mr.perfect8746]

Who's idea is it to "jump" around with the camera? Stop it.

[@defin99]

amazing painter.

[@stevebuk100]

The producer of this video needs to stop thinking we all like to view annoying flicking subjects, extremely hard to watch as she flits from left to right, back to the middle then off again, please sack him and get a professional in..

[@katherenewedic8076]

The videography does not allow one to actually look at the freaking painting and what I need more than anything is videography style that f****** causes me to be dizzy thank you

[@sakuraiindustries3225]

Well Im learning about Rosa for school and i realize that she's a tomboy artist...

[@ixlnxs]

More than a tomboy. She was openly lesbian in a time when that was still frowned upon. She was incredibly brave and a role model for lesbian women (and gay men) to this day.

[@junykp]

people with serious problems here complainig of the editing - superbe by the way - of the video. wake up! go back to the lumiere age and stay there!

[@55vermeer]

Go back to the MTV age and stay there. :D

[@nickcarroll5034]

it's amateurish and idiotic editing

[@nickcarroll5034]

“As far as males go, I only like the bulls I paint” Can you even find a source for that quote? of course this had to be turned into some weird leftist man hating video. Never even knew she was lesbian nor cared but sheesh barf.
