All Nature’s Children is the first complete retrospective exhibition of Rosa Bonheur’s work in the 20th century. Organized by the Musee de l’Ecole Barbizon-Auberge Ganne, Barbizon, and the Dahesh Museum, New York, it comprises a choice selection of paintings, drawings, sculptures and prints that survey her long and active artistic life. This publication is the first English-language study of her art in many years and includes a detailed chronology of her life, five essays by specialists, a list of works in the exhibition, a bibliography and many color and black-and-white illustrations.

Rosa Bonheur (1822–1899) was the finest French animal painter of the 19th century. Despite an unconventional artistic training and life, she was immensely successful during a six-decade career and was the first woman to receive France’s highest award, the Legion of Honor.
