Rosa Bonheur Google Doodle | Amazing Animal Paintings and Short Biography of Rosa Bonheur

Google is showing a Doodle in some countries on March 16, 2022, to celebrate the 200th birthday of French painter Rosa Bonheur, whose successful career inspired a future generation of women in the arts.

Bonheur's reputation as an animal painter and sculptor grew into the 1840s. Scholars believe an 1849 exhibition of “Plowing in Nivernais,” a government commission that is now housed in France, established her as a professional artist. In 1853, Bonheur garnered international acclaim with her painting “The Horse Fair,” which depicted the horse market held in Paris.
