Title:The Horse Fair
This image reminds me of the image we saw in class by Rosa Bonheur Plowing in the Nivernais. Rosa Bonheur was able to get away with painting subjects usually not chosen by women. I liked this image because of the action seen in the photo. The positioning of the horses and their positions.The colors give off a sense of seriousness and quarrel. I like the colors chosen in this painting because they really make you draw into the whit horses in the center. I liked the way Rosa painted these manly paintings because she was able to push limits by looking manish, painting manish, and not being made a spectacle. She was able to paint what she wanted to without the eroticism usually seen.
