Art with Tosca : Rosa Bonheur

-
Online

L’Audace d’Être Soi

L’Alliance Française de Philadelphie a le plaisir d’accueillir de nouveau Tosca Ruggieri, guide-conférencière basée à Washington D.C., pour une conference entièrement en francais !



Plongez dans le destin fascinant de Rosa Bonheur, figure incontournable de la peinture du XIXe siècle. Célébrée à l’international de son vivant, décorée de la Légion d’honneur, Rosa Bonheur s’impose comme l’une des plus grandes peintres animalières de son temps, admirée pour la puissance et la précision de ses représentations du monde animal. Mais au-delà de son œuvre magistrale, c’est une personnalité libre et audacieuse qui se révèle. Refusant les conventions sociales imposées aux femmes de son époque, elle mène une vie indépendante, revendique sa liberté artistique et personnelle et s’impose dans un milieu largement dominé par les hommes. À travers cette conférence, Tosca Ruggieri vous invite à redécouvrir une artiste d’exception, à la croisée de l’histoire de l’art et des enjeux de société, dont la modernité et le courage continuent de résonner aujourd’hui. Une rencontre inspirante avec une pionnière qui a su, envers et contre tout, être pleinement elle-même.

About the Art Historian

Art Historian and Museum Educator Tosca Ruggieri was raised between France and Italy. Fueled by a lifelong love for art, Tosca established Art with Tosca in 2021 after moving to Washington D.C. Tosca holds degrees from EPHE-Sorbonne, Paris and King’s College London. Prior to founding Art with Tosca, Tosca enriched her experience by working for a prominent art collector in Paris and in London art galleries. Now, Tosca shares her passion on a wider scale through a series of online lectures. Based in Washington D.C., Tosca also curates captivating tours of the D.C. museums, in particular at the National Gallery of Art, where she guides guests through a treasure trove of masterpieces, spanning the Italian Renaissance to modern times. Tosca's mission is to make art a more approachable through engaging experiences. Whether you're joining from the comfort of your home or exploring museums halls in person, Tosca offers journeys through centuries of artistic expression.

Terms & Conditions

All classes open upon enrollment. The Alliance Française de Philadelphie reserves the right to cancel classes and change teachers if necessary without advanced notice. Courses are typically canceled due to insufficient enrollment or unavailability of a teacher. If your course is canceled, you will be notified by telephone or email and given the option to transfer to another class, to receive a tuition credit, or to receive a full refund.

A class with only 3 to 4 students lasts 1.5 hours and a class with 5 students or more lasts 2 hours. If the class only has one or two students, the Alliance Française de Philadelphie may ask students to join a different group.

I understand that to be eligible for a refund, I must contact the office at least 24 hours before the first class. After the first class, only a credit for the next session will be issued (a $30.00 cancellation fee plus $37.50 per class is retained by the Alliance Francaise). No credit after the end of the 3rd week of classes.
