Het spenen van de kalveren
1879
Rosa Bonheur was a superstar of the Realism movement, famous for her incredibly detailed animal paintings. In this 1879 piece, she captures a tender yet rugged moment in the mountains: a mother cow watching over her calves as they are weaned. Bonheur was a trailblazer for women in art, often wearing men's clothing to visit farms to study animal anatomy up close. Her dedication paid off—she became the most famous female painter of the 19th century, and even Queen Victoria was a huge fan of her work!
