Visiting the home and studio of the artist Rosa Bonheur. This is a visit I had always wanted to make. Going with a fellow art Academy (PAFA) friend made it much more fun. We made the trip traveling by train going just one stop beyond Fontainebleau to the town of Thomery. A twenty minute hike through a small section of the forest of Fontainebleau had us breathing the smells of the cool fresh cool air on a path that led directly to this artist's amazing space. Formally named the Chateau de By, this odd structure sits about forty miles southwest of Paris. Bonheur dubbed the space "The Domain of Perfect Affection". Rosa came from a family of artists. I should not have been surprised at the large amount of works she created: drawing, painting, print works and a number of small sculptures well represented in the space. So much of her works seemed to have been collected outside of France. She would be the first woman in French history to receive the French Legion of Honour presented by the Empress Eugenie in 1865. Receiving the honor the Empress would state "Genius has no Sex". The place was an artist's studio that one could only dream of working in today. It was hung with a few works in progress and many references she may have used to help create her works. . . . #thomery #rosabonheur #museerosabonheur #fontainebleau #artiststudio #animalartist (at Musée de l'atelier Rosa-Bonheur) https://www.instagram.com/p/Chtu1p8r3SS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
