Paul Ranson

Paul Ranson (1864-1909) was a French painter and designer who was associated with the Art Nouveau movement. Ranson's works were characterized by their decorative style and their use of vibrant colors and intricate patterns. He was particularly interested in exploring the relationship between nature and art, and his works often featured elements of the natural world such as flowers, plants, and animals. Ranson was a member of the Nabis, a group of Post-Impressionist artists who sought to create art that was more subjective and expressive than the Impressionist style. Today, Ranson's works are celebrated for their beauty and their contribution to the development of Art Nouveau design. Some of his most famous works include "The Clearing" and "The Apple Tree."
