Rosa Bonheur's real name was Marie-Rosalie Bonheur, but she is often referred to as Rosa.
Rosa Bonheur's love for animals doesn't only show in the many paintings she made, but she also kept quite some animals at her home. A friend of Rosa once wrote: "At one time Rosa Bonheur had a complete menagerie in her home: a lion and lioness, a stag, a wild sheep, a gazelle, horses, etc. One of her pets was a young lion whom she allowed to run about and often romped with.... I was easier in mind when this leonine pet gave up the ghost."
