HTML:<p><strong>WINNER OF THE FRANCO-BRITISH SOCIETY LITERARY AWARD 2020</strong></p> <p><strong>'Art is a Tyrant recounts [Bonheur's] life with no little brio.' Michael Prodger, The Times Books of the Year 2020 </strong></p> <p><strong>'[A] diligently researched, beautifully produced and insistently sympathetic biography.' Kathryn Hughes, Guardian</strong></p> <p><strong>A new biography of the wildly unconventional 19th-century animal painter and gender equality pioneer Rosa Bonheur, from the author of the acclaimed Mistress of Paris and Renoir's Dancer.</strong></p> <p>Rosa Bonheur was the very antithesis of the feminine ideal of 19th-century society. She was educated, she shunned traditional 'womanly' pursuits, she rejected marriage – and she wore trousers. But the society whose rules she spurned accepted her as one of their own, because of her genius for painting animals.</p> <p>She shared an intimate relationship with the eccentric, self-styled inventor Nathalie Micas, who nurtured the artist like a wife. Together Rosa, Nathalie and Nathalie's mother bought a chateau and with Rosa's menagerie of animals the trio became one of the most extraordinary households of the day. </p> <p>Catherine Hewitt's compelling new biography is an inspiring evocation of a life lived against the rules.</p>.
