Who was Rosa Bonheur? French painter honoured by Google

Google, on Wednesday, remembered French painter Rosa Bonheur with Google Doodle to celebrate her 200th posthumous birthday.

Google Doodles often change the classic Google logo to incorporate a historical figure or special occasion relating to a specific date.

The Google image for Wednesday, March 16 features a woman sitting in a field painting sheep while the Google logo is subtly spelled out by clouds in the background.

Google describes Bonheur as an inspirational figure whose “successful career inspired a future generation of women in the arts.”
Earlier, Google celebrated Nigerian painter, Ladi Kwali.
