Restored old version[edit]

This version was a bit of a mess and I'm a bit worries about the source of this big addition. Sorry Pavlikv! Multichill (talk) 17:13, 7 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Selected as Metropolitan Museum of Art Weekly Challenge[edit]

This article has been chosen as the first-ever Metropolitan Museum of Art Weekly Challenge for the coming week. There are a lot of resources at the artwork's Met Collection record (see 'Catalogue Entry'), and also lists of other references. We could also benefit from the French Wikipedia version and Commons:Category:The Horse Fair — see the section for Week 1: The Horse Fair (Sept 25 - Oct 1) for more on how to participate, or just get started editing!--Pharos (talk) 15:17, 22 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Picture of the day

The Horse Fair is an oil painting on canvas completed by the French artist Rosa Bonheur between 1852 and 1853. Depicting dealers selling horses on the streets in Paris, the work was first exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1853. In 1887, having been held by several private collectors, the painting was donated by Cornelius Vanderbilt II to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It is one of Bonheur's most popular works, such that Queen Victoria requested a private viewing at Buckingham Palace during the painting's 1855–1857 tour of England.Painting: Rosa Bonheur
