Isidore Jules Bonheur (1827-1901)

Isidore Jules Bonheur was a French painter and sculptor .
Born in Bordeaux on May 15 , 1827 , he was the third child of painter Raymond Bonheur (1796-1849) and his wife Sophie Marquis (1797-1833) .
His family was made up of artists , the best-known of whom was Rosa Bonheur , the eldest sibling .

Isidore began his artistic apprenticeship with his father Raymond and older sister Rosa , and in 1827 entered the School of Fine Arts in Paris .
After practicing painting , he sent a plaster group to the 1848 Salon , entitled "Cavalier africain attaqué par une lionne" ("African rider attacked by a lioness") ; he then turned to animal sculpture .
His group , "Combat de taureaux" ("Bull fight") , attracted attention at the 1850 Salon .
Isidore Bonheur won medals at the 1865 and 1869 Salons , and a gold medal at the 1889 Exposition Universelle in Paris .
He mainly composed groups of small animals .

I.Bonheur was awarded the Legion of Honor in 1895 .
He died in Paris on November 19 , 1901.
Many of his works can now be found in museums , notably in Bordeaux , Warsaw in Poland and the United States , but most of his sculptures can be found at the Orsay Museum in Paris .
