Birthday Pegasus Puvis de Chavannes CC0549 Card

Birthday greeting card inspired by a beautiful dreamlike painting by French artist Pierre Puvis de Chavannes (Fantasy, 1866). The picture shows a female figure, perhaps a muse, using a flowery vine to lasso a winged horse or Pegasus, a symbol of imagination. A youth is sitting in the grass, picking flowers for a wreath. This activity may be implying a sensitivity to beauty. The setting is idyllic, a verdant wooded landscape with some fading mountains in the background. The birthday message would naturally be something like 'May all your dreams come true'. A great card when you want to encourage people to realise their dreams.
