Hippogriff, 1891
Paul Ranson (1861-1909) was painter and a theosophist, and his works are an open window to a colourfull magic and spiritual world.
He was a member of the Nabis(*) group. They used to meet in his studio called 'The Temple', at 25 boulevard de Montparnasse in Paris.
(*) 'Nabi', comes from the hebrew 'nebiim' and means 'prophet'.
