La fiera dei cavalli

1852–55
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 812
Il mercato dei cavalli di Parigi si svolgeva in Boulevard de l’Hôpital, vicino all’ospedale della Salpêtrière, qui visibile sullo sfondo a sinistra. Per un anno e mezzo, Bonheur si recò due volte alla settimana al mercato per fare degli schizzi, vestita da uomo per non richiamare l’attenzione. Il dipinto fu iniziato nel 1852 e quindi esibito al Salon di Parigi del 1853, in seguito la pittrice vi apportò delle modifiche. Fin dal suo arrivo al Metropolitan nel 1887, questa tela straordinariamente vivace è stata uno dei quadri più apprezzati e amati dal pubblico.
