Rosa Bonheur was an animal painter who enjoyed international success in the 19th century, making her one of the best-known artists of her century. She was the first woman artist to be awarded the Legion d'Honneur, and was gradually forgotten by history. Today, she is emerging from the shadows, as 2022 marks her bicentenary. Photographer and sociologist Irène Jonas stayed at Rosa Bonheur's château to capture the atmosphere of the place. In addition to her work with painted photographs, she has imagined a correspondence with the great artist; eight letters tackling emblematic subjects that emerged during various readings on her life.
