Bronze Uruly :
Rosa Bonheur submitted her first painting to the Salon in
1841 at age of 19. The following year, 1842, she submitted
her first sculpture, a terra-cotta of a Shorn Sheep Grazing.
The 1843 Salon saw the plaster model of her Bull, which was
later cast in bronze by her brother-in-law Peyrol. She was
awarded a Third Class Medal at the 1843 Salon for her exhibit
of three paintings and two sculptures and given a State Commission
for a painting. She continued to exhibit her paintings, gaining
enormous acclaim as an artist, but it wasn't until the 1848
Salon that she exhibited more sculpture where she entered
two models and received the Gold Medal of the First Class.
Only thirteen of her sculptural works survive and of those
only seven were ever exhibited in her lifetime but her influence
and vitality were far reaching.
Her few bronze sculptures were not cast in large editions
and are highly sought after by collectors today. She was thought
to be romantically associated with Buffalo Bill Cody as well
as Edward Landseer but she lived for 50 years with her life
long friend and close companion Nathalie Micas. She was a
great patron and example to the numerous young American women
sculptors working and studying in Paris in the late 19th century.
Her naturalism and realism in both painting and sculpture
assured a world wide market for her work, which commanded
high prices even during her lifetime. Rosa was patronized
and befriended by Queen Victoria after her first visit to
Scotland in 1853.
