Dans la vie de Rosa Bonheur
La vie entière1856–1867
Absent from the Salon: everything sold in advance
All her works were sold in advance, so Bonheur did not exhibit at the Salon. Théophile Gautier wrote that with her “there is no need to be gallant”: she took art seriously and could be judged on a par with men.
1864
A surprise visit from Empress Eugénie
The Empress invited Bonheur to lunch with Napoleon III (the visit is recorded in a wood engraving after Auguste Victor Deroy), and on 10 June 1865 she returned to present her in person with the cross of the Legion of Honour — the first woman artist so honoured.
