Bonheur, Plowing in the Nivernais

That refers to both the region and the kind of oxen that are the stars of this canvas. They are.발음듣기
I think it was at age fourteen that she was actually sketching in the Louvre and actually creating oil paintings.발음듣기
So this was made in 1849 which is just one year after the revolution and so interesting that an artist now is moving out into the countryside, away from all of the chaos of the city - Where the revolution happened--발음듣기
And we have this incredible image of these oxen turning the soil in the fall to prepare it for the following year's season and look at the soil itself.발음듣기

So do you think that Rosa Bonheur is giving us a conservative vision at this moment just after a very radical revolution of 1848 that brings the working class into power in a significant way?발음듣기
She's emphasizing the importance of landscape, of animal painting itself, on a scale that is often reserved for history painting.발음듣기
She's a woman not painting interiors, not painting as an amateur but is painting at the level of the highest professional.발음듣기
