Maryann Macdonalds picture book biography Rosas Animals: The Story of Rosa Bonheur and Her Painting Menagerie is an elegant, insightful portrait of an artist worth knowing (Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review).Painter and sculptor Rosa Bonheur (18221899) led a highly nontraditional life, especially for a woman in the 19th century. She kept lions as pets, was awarded the Legion of Honor by Empress Eugnie, and befriended Buffalo Bill Cody. She became a painter at a time when women were often only reluctantly educated as artists. Her unconventional artistic work habits, including visiting slaughterhouses to sketch an animals anatomy and wearing mens clothing to gain access to places like a horse fair, where women were not allowed, helped her become one of the most beloved female painters of her time.Among the artworks discussed are The Horse Fair and Ploughing in the Nivernais. Along with her life story are a list of museums that house her work, archival color and blackandwhite images, a bibliography, and an index.Highdefinition, fullpage reproductions of her artwork, as well as supporting historical information about the era in which Bonheur lived, make this an accessible portrait of the artist.
